Synopsis:
Ralph Dibny begins getting premonitions of the future. When he receives a premonition of a bank robbery, Ralph heads to the bank to stop it. Despite his knowledge of the crime, Ralph is unable to prevent the crooks from escaping.

Later, the crooks learn about Ralph's new ability. They kidnap with and use truth serum on him. They force him to reveal the winners for the day's horse races. Ralph's predictions prove correct and the crooks make a fortune at the track. When they return to their hotel hide-out Ralph predicts he will capture them. They try to kill him, but they fail and Ralph makes good on his prediction to apprehend them.

Ralph's new power eventually wears off. He traces it to a bottle of gingold extract with an impurity. Since he finished the last of it, he doubts his prognostication abilities will return.
