Hypnotist Erik Darren performs at a school assembly at Blue Valley High School. When Darren orders a boy to run around the world, Kid Flash uses his speed to carry the boy on an incredible trip. When returning to the school, Kid Flash sees the school custodian being assaulted. He tries to help, but is knocked out.
