Synopsis:
Chronos escapes from jail and purchases a clock from auction. The clock contains a valuable gem smuggled into the country by Anton Teljas. Chronos seeks out five other clocks that he believes contain similar gems.

One of the clocks was purchased by Ray Palmer. When Chronos shows up at Ray's lab, Ray goes into action as the Atom. Chronos uses weapons within his watch to stop his nemesis, then successfully retrieves the remaining clocks.

Atom overcomes the watch weapons and locates Chronos again. He also finds the gems inside the clocks. After taking out Chronos, Atom turns the gems over to Eva Teljas, the daughter of the clockmaker.
