The Torch and Toro go to the cemetery where the Slasher was buried and dig up his grave.

Inside the coffin, the Torch and Toro find that Slasher's body is still inside, and someone had cut off his hand. Burning their way free from the grave the Torch and Toro race to the police station where the D.A. and jury for the Slasher trial are being kept for their safety.
