Synopsis:
After having lunch with Barry Allen, Iris West leaves to attend her latest photo assignment. She is to fly an aircraft and take pictures of the city. During the flight, a flying saucer appears and causes Iris’ plane to vanish.

Barry, having watched the disappearance via remote, rushes after the saucer as the Flash. He catches a ride on a rocket that is being shot into space. The saucer flys away before the rocket can catch up and Flash rides the rocket back to Earth.

Desperately seeking a way to find Iris, Flash breaks the time barrier and travels into an extra-dimensional world. He is captured by tiny green aliens that remind him of the Lilliputians. The aliens grow to tremendous size as the hour passes, and they reveal a plan to destroy the world. Flash escapes from his hourglass prison and rescues Iris, who has also been captured.

As the ships armed with explosives launch, the aliens begin to shrink once again. Flash chases down the ships and destroys them before they can cross into his dimension. With the threat eliminated, Flash carries Iris home through the dimensional barrier.
