While waiting, Rip and his crew are captured and thrown into a dungeon by King Gamina and his guards. Cholorus the Sorcerer asks why the strangers have not been thrown into the Valley of Monsters.

"Rip!... Cholorus is making the spears turn around in mid-air!"

Turns out that it's the real King Gamina in the sphere and an impostor back in the city. The impostor is bargaining with Cholorus, offering the sorcerer his kingdom for the secrets of his sorcery, but Rip and company arrive. The impostor King is revealed as really Dr. Senn, who had persuaded Blakeslee to help him at gunpoint.
