Sue Dibny visits a fortune teller in Quaker City. When the predictions come true her husband, the Elongated Man, investigates. Ralph visits the fortune teller himself and is told that he will soon stop a robbery. Intrigued Ralph follows the clue and does stop the robbery. Ralph returns to the fortune teller's shop and interrupts a robbery there as well. After catching the thieves, the fortune teller explains that she is using the guise of a fortune teller to help those people wronged by her father including Ralph. Since Ralph was already wealthy, she provided him with a mystery to solve.
