Chapter three totally rips us off by not having an awesome title. Instead, it just has a massive car wreck.
Everyone involved survives, but then the real drama happens.
Yep, it’s a scam. Jay beats them up and goes to their garage, where he sees this:
Jay takes the tools and runs around, fixing wrecks before they happen. So what does this all have to do with The Threat and Roy Revenge? Simple… the owner is The Threat! See, he had an accident…
How, exactly, do you swear revenge on someone you’ve already sworn revenge on?
He ends up with plastic surgery, leading to what may be the one time in a Golden Age comic someone recognizes a person via their voice:
Anyway, this time The Threat gets away before the Flash gets back, showing that he does learn…
Meanwhile, Roy’s been working on a farm, where he’s decided hard honest work ain’t so bad. In a coincidence, the owner of the farm decides to go try out a new Plastic Surgeon who’s moved to town (his reason being “wonder if the widder Brown with like me better with a new face?”), and that Doctor is, of course, The Threat. The Threat finds out that Roy is working on the farm because the farmer, um, does this:
Well, guess the “widder Brown” has a thing for Roy, or the farmer does, anyway.
In our next set of astonishing coincidences, Mayor Jim Kelly decides to run for governor and comes to town, so The Threat reveals himself to his “son” (not even remotely what I meant!), and they hatch a plot. Because that has worked out so well for them before…
Watch them fail tomorrow.
