Synopsis:
Johnny Chambers visits the lab of Professor Rollins, a chemist. Rollins has created a speed formula which he secretly gives to Johnny. Johnny is forced to use his speed and give away his secret identity, but the professor believes the formula works.

To protect his identity, Johnny must convince the professor that the formula works and also that it should not be used. Rollins distributes the chemical to a boxer and waiter. Johnny uses his own speed to fake theirs and convinces them to stop using the formula. Then he also convinces the professor.
