Synopsis
Plastic Man and company go for a vacation to a resort which is holding a hog-calling contest. An amnesiac Robby Reed is working at this ranch. When Robby starts to get his memory back, he tries to use the H-Dial, but due to the rust, the hero-forms have turned evil. He tries out several of his past identities to commit crimes, settling on Plastic Man when the real Plastic Man tries to stop him.
