Synopsis:
While dining in a fancy restaurant Jay Garrick and Joan Williams witness a dishwasher getting kidnapped. The indian man has just learned that he has inherited a throne in India, and the kidnappers intend to ransom him. The Flash rescues the dishwasher, Rajput Singh, and takes the kidnappers to jail.

Inspired by the kidnappers, headwaiter Herman Bunch decides to quit his job and become a crook. He tries to kidnap Singh himself, but the Flash comes to the rescue again. Bunch then bails the two crooks from jail to join his gang. They board the ship with Singh to India, intending to capture him during the trip.

The Flash and Joan accompany Singh on the ship. They protect the prince from the domestic kidnappers as well as men sent by the prince's uncle. With the Flash's help Singh safely arrives in India. The frustrated Bunch is caught by the Flash and forced to work as a waiter for Singh as punishment.
