Synopsis:
When Sue Dibny visits a jewel to pick up a repaired watch, the store owner tells her about a hundred dollar bill, that he thought was a ten dollar bill, when a customer corrected him when making change. Sue relates the story to her husband, who decides to investigate as the Elongated Man.

Ralph visits the jewelry store and sees the jeweler robbing his own safe. He follows the man and watches as the jewels are placed in an alley garbage can. Ralph stays with the jewels and sees another man pick them up. He eavesdrops and learns that the crook hypnotized the jeweler into robbing himself. Ralph apprehends the thief and explains the situation to the jeweler, who was hypnotized to forget his own robbery.
