Synopsis:
Elongated Man is contacted by police to help stop a gang called the Bottleneck Bandits. The bandits elude capture by knocking Ralph out during their first encounter. Ralph then borrows the costume of a young boy to use when he confronts the crooks again.

Ralph finds the crooks and allows them to believe they have shot him. He leaves the empty costume behind as proof of his death. The crooks take the costume back to their boss. Elongated Man is able to follow them with a transmitter hidden in the costume. He then surprises the gang, captures them all, including the leader.
