Synopsis for "Captain Marvel Fights Niatpac Levram"
This story is reprinted from Captain Marvel Adventures #139.
Billy heckles a street corner magician for pulling the old rabbit-out-of-the-hat trick, but the magician then does one better by using real magic to make thousands of rabbits leap out of his hat! Captain Marvel only stops the stampede by putting the magic hat on his own head, and chasing all the rabbits out into the country. While he's busy with that, the magician uses his powers to bring Marvel's reflection to life, Niatpac Levram. Levram goes on a destructive rampage at the magician's behest, and proves the equal of his source in strength and power when Marvel tries to confront them. The hat's knocked off in their course of their scuffle, causing another rabbit stampede, but this time Marvel follows the villains. They go to a secret school for evil wizards, where the magician's promoted from student to master for his accomplishments. He changes the spying Billy into a monster, but this makes his gag burst so he can transform, knock out the magician, and use his wand to both switch off the hat and put Levram back in the mirror.
