The Alchemist discovers the Top of Perpetual Motion at a top-spinning contest, but must battle Wonder Woman and Black Canary until the villain claims the top and overcomes them. Zodiac's testimony at the trial is interrupted again by some youngsters claiming to be the JSA, who are ushered out of court, and Zodiac continues his story, telling of a professor who accidentally discovers the Elixir of Youth in a flower bed. GL attempts to capture the Alchemist, who throws his last alchemo-bomb at the Emerald Crusader, freezing the ray of his ring, and allowing the Alchemist to capture him.
