Synopsis:
Rokk and Sorban, two gamblers from Ventura, take the Justice League hostage. They force Flash and Superman to race across the universe to settle a wager. To motivate the heroes, the gamblers threaten to destroy the home city of the loser. If the heroes refuse to race, they will destroy both Metropolis and Central City.

The race across the universe begins with the Flash protected b a special aura that allows him to survive in space. Superman is forced to make a detour around a red sun star system and makes a startling discovery on Ventura. Meanwhile, while separated from the Man of Steel the Flash encounters several deadly hazards in his path.

Superman catches up and tries to convince Flash to abandon the race. Flash thinks it is a trick, until he receives a message from Green Lantern and Aquaman. Both heroes then abandon their race and return to Justice League Headquarters.

Rokk and Sorban then attack the heroes exhibited super powers of their own. The heroes win, then expose the gamblers as Professor Zoom and Abra Kadabra in disguise. Superman learned that they were imposters when he saw the real Rokk and Sorban on Ventura. With the villains in custody, the Justice League debates over who actually won the race between Superman and Flash.
