- "The Trail of the Traitor" Part 1. Learn the history behind some of the Green Lanterns of Space Sector 2814, including Hal Jordan's predecessor Abin Sur, who arrives on Earth in pursuit of a galactic outlaw in 1882!
Synopsis: - 1882. Abin Sur arrives, weakened, on Earth in pursuit of a galactic despot. He is saved from a trio of bounty hunters by Marshal Jordan, and the two of them search for their prey together. Sur is prevented from using his power ring for extended amounts of time, and also encounters prejudice as an 'Injun' on account of his skin color.
- The two of them arrive in Coffin Springs, where the bad guys have the sheriff and a large amount of the population under their combined thumbs, and are soon aware that they are being pursued.
