Synopsis:
Ralph Dibny, the Elongated Man, has been using his unique talent as a circus performer. Having acquired a small fortune from his appearance, Ralph retires so that he can travel the world.
Ralph travels to the Yucatan to see the Gingo, a tree whose fruit gives Ralph his stretching ability. His native guides are scared away by a haunted area of the jungle. Ralph sees a strange red light and encounters an invisible barrier, so he contacts Flash for assistance.
When Ralph returns to the jungle, he is reduced in size along with all animal life in the area. Two alien invaders are responsible. Flash arrives and is also reduced to tiny size. Together the duo defeat the aliens and damage their machines. With the machine destroyed, Flash and Elongated Man are restored to normal size.
