Synopsis:
Speedy joins forces with the Teen Titans on a two-fold mission: to locate a missing Olympic contender, and to prevent the disruption of the Olympics by DIABLO, an international hate group. Once found, runaway Davey Bradley, afraid to compete in case he might lose and disappoint his father, a disabled former runner, joins the Titans at the games, albeit in disguise. When the Titans are captured by DIABLO agents and set up as targets for an unwitting blindfolded Speedy, young Bradley acts to turn the tables, enabling the junior super-heroes to escape and capture their foes, which in turn gives him the courage to rejoin the competition.
