Synopsis:
Abra Kadabra returns to the 20th century to attend a magicians' convention. When the other magicians attempt to throw him out because of his criminal past, Kadabra hypnotizes them all into becoming criminals too. The Flash stops several of the magician robberies and learns that his old foe has returned.

Kadabra then uses a device to hypnotizes every person in Central City. He commands them all to bring him all the money in town. Flash is also under the spell and helps to collect the money for the crook. Abra Kadabra then humiliates the Flash by making him act like a dog. However, the insult causes Flash to break the spell that holds him back. He then apprehends Kadabra, returns him to the 64th century authorities, and returns the money to the rightful owners.
