Plastic Man and his sidekick Woozy Winks find themselves in Dreamland, where they receive a mysterious call about a job at a Bishop Warehouse. Suspicious it might be a trap by Butch's mob, they scout the location, but are quickly captured and forced into a cement mixer by criminals. Using his elastic powers, Plastic Man escapes the hardening concrete and manages to rescue Woozy from drowning, ultimately defeating the mobsters and being rescued by police. The story concludes with Plastic Man realizing that despite the danger, his superhuman abilities proved essential to their survival.
