Taking up residence in his grandfather's old home, Doolin apparently becomes a target of the ancient curse. Ray Palmer) gets involved because Jean is the lawyer in charge of executing the will. As the Atom, Ray manages to protect Doolin from the various apparent curses, incorporating the various elements. However, the Atom soon learns that all of these "curses" are really machines created by somebody on the property wanting to kill Doolin. When Atom discovers that the last curse, that of the element of Earth really turns out to be a bomb hidden in a globe, he disarms it.
