Characters:

Bob Hope; Natasha; Mary; Professor; Blitznian agents; Blitznian athletes

Synopsis:

Bob Hope accidentally takes a professor's formula, ending up in Blitznia with super speed but without his memory. Blitznians groom him to run for them in the Olympics, but his memory recovers after encountering the professor and his pretty daughter again. The professor's reverse formula accidentally reverses him back to the stone age, where he is soon surrounded by pretty girls.

Keywords:

Olympics; sports; stone age; time travel

Indexer Notes

Story told in three parts, plus splash page -- but parts do not have separate titles, and each flows directly from its predecessor, so they are treated here as one continuous story.
