Synopsis:
The Flash performs at an orphanage. The director asks him to help three rebellious orphan teens. The teens are not impressed by the Scarlet Speedster, even though he grants their request to return to their old neighborhood. The Flash sees that it has fallen on hard times. At the site of a demolished building, the Flash decides to build a boys club at super speed.

In the rubble, the Flash discovers the loot from a million dollar robbery. The crooks want the money back. The Flash is then injured while trying to protect the kids. A head wound causes him to forget his Flash identity. Instead he reverts to the childhood age of eight. The teens are forced to protect him.

When the crooks find the kids and the Flash, the speedster prays for powers. He then uses his speed to stop the crooks. Another blow to the head restores his mind to normal.
