Synopsis

Flash and Green Lantern are abducted by an alien spaceship and transported to an other-dimensional world where they face various dangers. Escaping back to Earth, they learn that their capture was meant to remove them temporarily so that the aliens could take over the planet. Teamwork eventually allows them to drive away the invaders.
