Synopsis:
Three actors are hired to play the roles of gangsters. They are detained at the airport when police mistake them for real convicts. The actors are released, but Iris West suspects there is more to the story.

Flash meets actor Dexter Myles and takes him to meet the three actors in hopes that Myles can obtain a role in their production. Flash finds the actors have been replaced by real convicts recently escaped from prison. He races to the airport where police have let the crooks onto a plane, believing they were the actors again. Flash stops the plane and apprehends the crooks.

Flash then helps Dexter Myles obtain a position as tour guide for the Flash Museum.
