The Second Time Around

The Phantom and Guran stop a robbery in progress. But just as the Phantom's about to collar the criminal in charge, the criminal flashes him a gold coin in which the Good Mark has been engraved. Guran stops the Phantom from capturing the criminal, explaining that the Good Mark might have been given by a previous Phantom, and if the Phantom ignores it now, it could be evidence that there have been different Phantoms over the years, and not just one. Guran convinces the Phantom to return to the Lair to try and discover where the gold coin came from, so they can decide whether or not the person with it deserved to have used it.

In the meantime, by watching an Enforcer surveillance tape, Rebecca has seen the effect the coin had on the Phantom and she tells Graft to stop at nothing until he gets that coin for her.

At the Lair, the Phantom enters a Virtual Reality Sphere and travels back in time to Tangiers in the 1930s!

It's "Phantom 2040" meets "Casablanca" in this change-of-pace episode, where our Phantom gets caught up in an adventure of the 20th Phantom. Both Phantoms must battle nefarious characters such as Mr. Hand, The Thin Man and The Fat Man before our Phantom uncovers the secret of the Good Mark coin.

The Gold Coin was given to someone else- not the criminal who has it now. The information comes just in time because the Phantom knows that Rebecca has made arrangements to buy the coin.

At the meeting between Graft and the criminal with the coin, the Phantom attacks, defeats Graft, and takes back the coin- telling the criminal that the Good Mark can't be bought or stolen.
