Synopsis:
The Flash is scheduled to speak at a police symposium in Central City. Before his appearance, he learns about a potential assassination attempt. To fool the assassins he travels to Borderville and lets the crooks believe that he is an out of work actor doubling for Barry Allen. Then Iris, disguised as Barry, leads the crooks astray. The deception works, and the crooks call off the assassination attempt.

When Flash then trails one of the crooks, he is caught and frozen solid by an instant icer. With the Flash unable to stop them, the crooks then proceed with a large scale robbery. Flash is able to free himself from the ice. He is then able to track down the gang and apprehend them.
