Written by Robert Kanigher. Art and cover by Martin Naydel. The Flash becomes involved in a case involving "Chef" Dolan, who works in a bakery where the Three Dimwits also have jobs. The Chef is placing plans for crimes into certain pies, but, unfortunately for Dolan, he forgets what pie he put the plans into. Shrimp Coogan has a remarkable ability: a silver plate put in his head picks up the electrical vibrations of the human brain, as it thinks and connects them with the motor controls of a person's speech. Although he can't read people's thoughts, he can speak them, a situation the Scarlet Speedster finds difficult to overcome. Cotton-Top Katie story by Harry Lampert (as Harrielle). 52 Pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
