Three Flashes--Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, and Wally West--battle Golden Man!

Joan Garrick convinces her husband, Jay, to take her to Earth-1. Joan wants Jay to convince police forensics scientist, Barry Allen, to reveal his secret identity, as the Flash, to his wife, Picture News reporter, Iris West.

A passion for hunting inspired the Golden Man to bring the Scarlet Speedsters to Vorvan, to serve as his prey. Releasing the 3 Scarlet Speedsters into the wilds of Vorvan, the Golden Man offers to return them to Earth, if they can elude him for four hours.

The Golden Man closes in on his prey, leveling a paralysis rifle on them, Before he can fire, the two Flashes vibrate down into the geyser, then tear off at such high velocity, they are rendered invisible to the naked eye.

Once more, the Scarlet Speedsters are able to escape the Golden Man. In truth, though, the Golden Man is not actually interested in the hunt. Chasing the Scarlet Speedsters is merely a ruse to keep them running at their highest velocity. Machines in Vorvan City are absorbing the speed force created by their running, which the Golden Man plans to harness, and use, to rapidly evolve his people to his intellectual level. The very ground itself liquifies beneath the Scarlet Speedster's pounding feet.

The Golden Age Flash reveals that, due to his constant maintaining of an inner vibration, to cause his features to blur, protecting his secret identity, he was able to remain conscious upon being teleported to Vorvan. The three Flashes return to Earth, then track down and apprehend the Domino Gang. The Garricks return to Earth-2, after getting Allen's assurance that he will reveal his secret identity to Iris, on their anniversary.
