Synopsis for "Trapped by the Carbon-Copy Man"

On the planet Xarta, Ugarth, the warlord of Xarta, and his son plan a conquest of Earth. Meanwhile on Earth, Blake decides that he wants to reveal his true identity to Jane, to get her love for him. However Odin prohibits it and Blake drops the subject. In the city strange events happen and Thor goes to mayor Harris to find out what is wrong. However Harris scares Thor out of his office and Thor resigns to asking Odin for help. Thor concludes that the strange behavior of Harris is explained by the fact that he is impersonated. Thor searches the city and finds the Xartan spaceship. Thor is captured by a magnetic force and changes back to Blake. Blake is brought into the spaceship and sees there mayor Harris as well as Jane Foster. Blake is brought before Ugarth and Zano and promises them to deliver Thor, the mightiest warrior on Earth, to them. Jane resents Blake for his actions, but it gives Blake the opportunity to change back to Thor. Thor battles Zano, who changes form to do battle. Thor defeats him and then takes up battle with Ugarth. He defeats him also and swirls him into space, where he is rescued by his army. Zano and two henchmen stay behind and Thor, after freeing Jane and mayor Harris, let them transform into trees, so Xarta will never attack again. Moreover Thor tells Jane that Blake helped him, but Jane doubts this explanation.
