Synopsis:
When Ralph Dibny and his wife go fishing at Lake Cherokee, they discover that the lake has dried up. Ralph sees a man fishing in the empty lake and investigates the mystery as the Elongated Man. The fisherman finds a key in the lake bed which he takes to the estate of the late Elmer Ewell. The man then opens a vault hidden behind a clock. Elongated Man fails to stop the crook, because he trips an alarm system. Though he lets the crook escape, he manages to track the thief down. He then apprehends the crook and his partners, after hearing the story of how the man found the hidden vault in the first place.
