This time out, the Flash plunges into action, literally, when he plucks socialite Marcia Von Doorn out of the ocean. Her tale intrigues our speedy hero, as it seems she ended up in the drink when the owners of a floating casino tossed her overboard. Why?
She was there to rescue her finance Jimmy Norton and it seems the owners took some exception to that. Mostly due to Jimmy's dad trying to outlaw gambling. They're on a boat though, so couldn't they just sail a few miles out?
In any event, the Flash sneaks on board. After causing some mischief, he rescues Jimmy and brings the casino owners to justice. Not terrible but the owners are a tad bit generic, with the main owner even looking like Goll.
