Synopsis
In Asgard, Loki is imprisoned within a tree until his plight causes someone to shed a tear. He magically makes a leaf fall in Heimdall's eye, causing a tear and breaking the enchantment. Seeking revenge on Thor, Loki takes a mortal guise and transforms people in Manhattan into "negatives" to draw Thor out. Thor appears and cures the victims. Loki reveals himself and eventually mesmerizes Thor, creating a duplicate image of the Thunder God to which Thor hands his hammer. However, Thor becomes Don Bake after 60 seconds, which breaks Loki's spell. He retrieves Mjolnir and finally defeats Loki by dumping him in the water where his magic powers are useless. Thor ties Loki to Mjolnir and hurls him to Asgard to be taken prisoner.
Loki slips past Heimdall as a snake and returns to Earth, mesmerizing Jane to obey him. Loki confronts Blake and arranges to battle Thor at Central Park. There, Loki endangers the entranced Jane with a tiger. Forced between saving Jane and retrieving his hammer, Thor chooses Jane, becoming Don Blake again. Loki puts a force field around the hammer so that Blake cannot reach it then goes on a mystical rampage. Getting an idea, Don tells the newspapers that Thor challenges Loki to return to Central Park. There, Don sets up a plastic dummy of Thor. Arriving, Loki finds his force field intact but seeing the Thor dummy, lowers it to see if the hammer is still there. Blake quickly grabs Mjolnir, becomes Thor again, and eventually captures Loki in a net, returning him to Asgard for Odin's punishment.
