Synopsis:
A time capsule is sent into the future by Dr. Walter Drake. The capsule contains an atomic clock, a spare Flash uniform, and some other items. Dr. Drake realizes that the method with which he propelled the capsule through time changed the atomic clock into a bomb. He enlists the Flash to help him prevent a disaster.
In the year 2463, a criminal known as the Professor finds the capsule and takes the Flash uniform. Using future science, he is able to enable the costume to give him super-speed. He begins a crime wave as Professor Zoom.
Flash arrives in the future and begins his search for the atomic clock. He learns about Zoom and confronts him. The two speedsters are evenly matched and battle to a stalemate. Flash learns that the aura protecting him from friction was duplicated by Zoom using chemicals. He manages to force a break down of the chemicals which eliminates Zoom’s aura. Without this protection, Zoom is defeated and turned over to the authorities.
Flash locates the atomic clock and safely disposes of it. He then returns to the present and informs Dr. Drake that the bomb was destroyed. He also destroys the costume of Professor Zoom.
