Well, this is a first. Crossovers were a rare thing back in the day (covers aside), and here we have the first time Green Lantern encounters regular All-American Comics backup feature Hop Harrigan.
Honestly, Hop is the main character throughout this. To wit, Tank (Hop's sidekick) is seen being hustled into a van by some rough looking dudes. Naturally Hop is a bit concerned and jumps into the nearest cab, ordering it to follow that van.
And of course Doiby is the cab driver. The pair end up in the slammer for all their trouble, but the Green Lantern busts them out and they're off to the rescue!
Except not really; oh, did Tank forget to mention why he was being dragged off? It seems he signed up for a weight loss clinic and they take their membership very serious.
