Scripter Gardner F. Fox reports writing "Peril of the Paper Death" for this issue. However, that tale was apparently revised and published as "The Paintings That Walked the Earth" in All-Star Comics #28. This story was the first to be authored by new scripter John Broome.

The Magic Sphere reveals how modern inventions, like airplanes, age, then suddenly disappear. The scene shifts to a hospital where a wounded Professor reveals that his invention is being used by someone, which is revealed to be his new lab assistant, Degaton. When they visit the professor, he warns they they must stop Degaton and undo what he has done. Several members go out on missions, and G.L., Johnny, and Wonder Woman remain at the hospital to protect Professor Zee.

Synopsis: Flash must find penicillin to save the professor's life and is told there might be some in the time capsule in Colossal Caves, which would be immune to time change. He races there and confronts Degaton and his men, who overcome him, tie him up and place him in the capsule. The Flash uses his speed to propel the capsule through a wall, releasing him and the contents. He grabs the penicillin, subdues Degaton's men and races the penicillin over to the hospital, musing to himself that the JSA must figure out WHAT crucial event in the past Degaton is changing to cause the effects taking place.

Fortunately the Atom escapes, having at least learned that Degaton has changed "a battle" in the past, so he returns to the hospital with the news.

Synopsis: At the hospital, the doctor has administered the penicillin and the professor recovers enough to let the JSA know that Degaton has changed the outcome of the famous Battle of Arabela, that took place in 331 B.C. He tells the JSA to go to Colossal Caves and enter into his time machine, and go back to that year and cause the original outcome of that battle to happen. G.L. offers to go alone, fearing that they may frighten Degaton into destroying the time machine. G.L. will then bring it back to the hospital and the entire JSA will go back in history to correct Degaton's actions.

G.L. charges into the machine, is knocked out and awakes in the future. Exiting, the JSA is there to greet him.

Synopsis: While discussing the fate of the JSA, Degaton notes modern inventions beginning to re-appear. The scene shifts to 331 B.C. with Alexander the Great's Army being routed, but the JSA turns the tide, quick to defeat Degaton. Grateful, Alexander gives the JSA his personal shield and dagger, which they accept, then all fade away. The Magic Sphere finishes its tale, modernization is restored, and the strange shield is now legible. The story closes with Professor Zee in his lab with Per Degaton, who seems to remember some foolishness about him dreaming that he was the ruler of the world!
