All told a minor foil, for the main stars of this yarn are the Three Dimwits.
Yes, Winky, Blinky, and Noddy, formerly sidekicks to the Golden Age Flash only now they live in Central City. This would also be their only Silver Age story and their last story period until Cry for Justice, but we don't talk about that one.
The three fancy themselves inventors. When their latest machine tells them to "buy dirt cheap and sell high", they dig up their lawn and sell the sod from atop a ladder.
During the course of their digging, they find a large box. A fellow happens by and is rather insistent on buying all their dirt. It's Boraz though, and that box is actually his loot. How he managed to bury in their yard isn't mentioned.
He's fine as a foil, and honestly the whole thing plays out as a Three Stooges short, which I think is the ideas. A shame the 3 Dimwits didn't show up again.
