Synopsis:
At the Central City bank, Mirror Master captures the image of the teller, Wilkins. Using his incredible knowledge of the strange properties of specially desgined mirrors, Mirror Master creates a three dimensional mirror image of Wilkins.
Barry Allen learns of some recent unexplained bank robberies. While at the bank, Allen sees Wilkins but has a strange feeling about him. He follows Wilkins outside and is amazed that Wilkins runs even faster than him. Wilkins vanishes into a nearby house, so Barry, as the Flash, follows him inside.
Wilkins hides in a room of mirrors but Flash flushes him out. Following him around the house, Flash is attacked by a giant mosquito and a minotaur. Flash is finally able to overcome the attackers by shutting off the lights. He realizes that all his opponents are creatures of light. With his adversaries gone, Flash is easily able to apprehend Mirror Master and deliver him to the authorities.
