- Several mysterious events in Civic City spur the JSA to meet with Army officials, and are mystified by the uncanny predictions of a scientist named Crillon. They attend a meeting where Crillon is speaking about a race of Diamond People who live beneath the surface of the Earth whom he believes are responsible for the events happening re the Bottomless Lake and Old Reliable Geyser, and that a major catastrophe may occur if people do not act soon. When Crillon and a Mr. Exnam suddenly disappear at the meeting and the JSA reads the scientist's notebook, they decide to act.

- Synopsis
- Flash, Wonder Woman and Black Canary head to the old World's Fair grounds, where Crillon's notes indicate the Diamond People will strike. When a volcano suddenly emerges on a playground, the trio stops the lava flow and faces the Diamond People, who use a gem ray on the JSA, blinding them and plunging them into the smoking volcano. Meanwhile, at Bottomless Lake, G.L. and the Atom investigate why the lake suddenly has filled with ice. They succeed in saving the city, but the Diamond People arrive and over-power the duo with the gem ray, blinding them and causing them to go over a cliff.
