Synopsis:
Jay Garrick is called to tell a story a Flash story to a blind boy. Flash tells the boy about an adventure in Fairyland. The Three Dimwits discovered a secret spell which allowed access to Fairyland. The Dimwits, Flash, Joan, two young boys, and two crooks are all transported into the mythical land.
Flash befriends many of the residents, while the crooks form an alliance with a local witch. When the crooks steal a treasure trove, Joan is wrongly imprisoned for the crime. Flash, with the help of his new friends, tracks down and defeats the crooks. Joan is released and everyone then returns home. The story inspires the blind boy, allowing his eye operation to succeed in healing him.
