“Superman Takes a Holiday!”

Zatara is performing in a small town when he hears a jewelry store owner tell his assistant to get the gems into the vault as it looks like rain. Zatara wants to know the connection, and is told that every robbery in the past three months has occurred during a rain storm. The thieves then vanish without a trace. Walking on, Zatara interrupts a robbery by men who seem to have just appeared from nowhere. They take the elevator to the roof and disappear. Zatara uses magic to walk into the clouds and finds a floating island, which he causes to lands in front of the police station.
