Synopsis:
While attempting to stop a runaway truck, Flash meets a man who can outrun him. The man has amnesia so Flash agrees to help him recover his memory.
Iris West, learning of the new speedster, arranges a race to be held for charity between Flash and his new competitor. Both men agree to the race. The stranger agrees to run backwards since he is believed to be faster. The race begins, and the stranger jumps to an early lead. The two complete the race with the stranger winning due to his quick start.
Flash brings the stranger to a doctor who uses electricity to jog the man’s memory. The treatment is successful but removes the man’s speed. The stranger is Kyri, a hominoid from another world. Hominoids are artificial life created by a race of aliens.
Kyri crashed on Earth on his way to repair a dimensional barrier. Without his speed, Kyri can no longer complete his task, but Flash can. The two men repair Kyri’s ship and fly to the barrier. Flash repairs the barrier, and Kyri returns home.
