Synopsis:
While searching for plants in the woods for botany class, Wally West witnesses his classmate Tommy Davis endangered by a falling boulder. He goes into action as Kid Flash only to see the boulder pass harmlessly through Tommy. Somehow Tommy has become invisible and intangible, visible only to Kid Flash's super fast eyes.

Tommy suspects that a lab experiment is responsibl for his condition. He takes Kid Flash to his father's lab where they discover a robbery in progress. Kid Flash stops the crooks and realizes that his own speed has caused Tommy's condition. Kid Flash then uses his vibrations to cure Tommy.

One of the crooks went unnoticed by Kid Flash and follows Tommy, hoping to learn the secret of invisiblity. Tommy begins to suspect that Wally is Kid Flash and calls his friend just as the crook strikes. Kid Flash comes to his rescue, then covers his own secret by appearing to be on the other end of the phone line at the same time as Wally.
