Synopsis:
Elongated Man returns to the Mangum Circus where he got his start as a rubber man. He learns that the circus is going out of business because a string of robberies have followed the circus. Ralph offers to investigate and joins the circus temporarily to keep it running.

Suspecting that the thief is in the audience, Ralph coats the tickets with a luminous paint. When a robbery occurs a luminous finger print is found belonging to circus owner Bert Mangum.

Bert is arrested, but Ralph finds a hidden microphone hidden on the circus owner. He follows the signal back to Rollins, an ex-circus rubber man, who has a grudge against Mangum. Ralph apprehends the real crook and proves to police that Bert was framed.
