Synopsis:
Flash is asked by Henry Willens, an attorney, to search for a missing girl. The girl was lost in an accident many years before. Her father has died recently and his dying wish was to locate the girl. A diamond shaped birthmark is the only clue Flash has to her identity.
While searching for the girl, Flash learns that Captain Cold has broken jail. He quickly catches up to Cold, but is preventing from making the capture by a new villain, Heat Wave.
Heat Wave teams temporarily with Cold, but the two have a dispute over the affections of a TV model, known as Dream Girl. The two crooks compete in a crime spree to win Dream Girl. They halt their rivalry again when Flash shows up. Flash is able to overcome both opponents and turn them in to the authorities.
Learning of the crooks passion for Dream Girl gives Flash an idea. He meets Dream Girl who turns out to be Priscilla Varner, the missing girl. Flash is able to take her to Mr. Willens to receive her inheritance.
