Jameson, to cancel the show. Later, when Jameson and rusten are alone
in the display room lights flash and objects fly about. When the disturbance
ends Rustenis dead - crushed by the mysterious idol..... police Capt

return of the idol to the people of Kalistan. When Barbera refuses,
Mandak becomes angry and tells him that Rava will have his revenge.
