In The Flash #124, Captain Boomerang is out of prison and up to his old tricks but with a new invention: a time-traveling boomerang. "The Space-Boomerang Trap" is both ingenious and deadly. Meanwhile, our protagonist, the Flash, finds himself in hot water as he takes on a master thief, James Lawton, who has sworn revenge on everyone involved in his trial. Lawton's plot involves harnessing Psi-radiation, which gives him the ability to mentally dominate anyone he sees on television.
As Picture News reporter, Iris West, writes in her diary about the time she almost learned the Flash's secret identity, Lawton uses his new powers to draw her in along with other key players in his past. It's a game of vengeance via television until the Flash steps in to save the day. In the end, Lawton is defeated and the Flash reveals that he suspected Lawton was somehow using television to carry out his abductions. By tracing the signal back to Lawton's lair, the case is finally closed.
Overall, The Flash #124 is a thrilling story full of twists and turns. The characters are well-developed, and the plot is incredibly engaging. This book is a must-read for any true comic book fan.
