Synopsis:
A plane carrying Susan Logan and her son crashes into a car driven by William Kandel. Susan's son and William's wife are killed. Susan and William prayers to save their loved ones are answered by two aliens. A bargain is struck. Timmy and Sylvia are restored to life, but Susan and William will die the following day. During that day, both will be immortal.
Kandel next finds himself caught in the crossfire caused by some escaped convicts. He is shot while Flash rounds up the crooks. Flash is amazed that Kandel survived. He then hears the story. He decides to help Kandel complete an important surgery on a patient before the doctor's day is up.
Flash then seeks out Susan, who has entered a daredevil competition. The competition is threatened by a nearby forest fire, but the Flash quenches the blaze. Susan then wins the competition by falling to Earth with opening her parachute.
When their time is up William and Susan meet the aliens again. Flash intervenes on their behalf, hoping to spare their lives. The aliens try to kill the Flash, but his powers keep him alive. The aliens are impressed, so they decide to leave. William and Susan are given a second chance at life.
