Synopsis:
Joe Vickers buys a share of the Red Shirts hockey team. Then he learns that gangster Gunner Parker owns a share too. Parker is at war with another gangster Dagger Daniels. Dagger tries to ruin the team in an effort to get at Parker.

The Flash helps Vickers and the team against the gangster. He becomes a one man hockey team, leading the Red Shirts to the playoffs. Daniels then kidnaps the team, so Flash puts together a makeshift team to win the Manley Cup.

Daniels gives up his efforts to ruin the team, but tells the Flash that Parker was really trying to get Vickers to sell his share cheap. Flash then confronts Parker and forces him to turn full contorl of the Red Shirts over to Vickers. With the money for winning the Manley Cup, Vickers’s daughter is able to have an operation.
