Synopsis:
Barry is attending his college reunion. With his help as the Flash, Barry’s ex-roommate Pete Forester is able to show up "Beefy" Lawson, the class bully. However, Pete is still timid about proposing to his girlfriend Doris.

Later, Pete phones Barry to tell him that the blueprints to his new invention have been stolen by foreign agents. Barry promises that the Flash will help. Using a bit of super-speed trickery, Flash and Barry are able to appear together at the same time.

"Beefy" arrives and tells the men that the spies are disguised as skin divers to get to their submarine. Flash, "Beefy", and Pete set out to capture them. Flash swims after the spies and brings them ashore. "Beefy" takes credit for the capture, and the blueprints are recovered. Pete is ecstatic, so Flash takes him to Doris. Pete finally works up enough courage to propose.
