Young Dash Dartwell, a scrub track athlete for Dravrah University, agrees to take Metalo-Tablets, invented by Professor Moss, a bio-chemistry teacher at the college, to see what effects it would have on the human body. When three of Dravrah's star track members are kidnapped by crooks, Dash is allowed to participate in the Elay Relays and sets three world records in three events, and culminates the day by capturing the six dangerous criminals responsible for the kidnappings.

Interesting note: if one spells the names of the two colleges running in the relays backwards, you have: "Harvard" (Dravrah) and "Yale" (Elay).

The signature, Harry Francis Campbell, signed on the splash page, is a by-line only for this issue. Campbell DID illustrate this story, in different form, in The Arrow #3, which is not a true reprint, as Taylor's illustrations in this issue are totally different from Campbell's work in The Arrow version. The captions have also, in most instances, been re-worded in The Arrow version, although the plot is basically the same.
