When Ray Palmer shows up for a 10 year reunion of his fellow University graduates, they all donate items of great wealth that are associated with the careers they have gotten into since university. However, these items get stolen prompting Ray to get involved as the Atom. It turns out that his fellow alumni Jack Archer is really a con-man that uses hypnotic suggestions to commit his crimes. Atom learns this when he is led to believe that Archer was able to magically make the Atom grow. However, when the Atom realizes that his costume didn't become invisible (as it would when he reaches his full height) he realized the secret to Archer's powers. The Atom then defeats Archer and reveals the truth: that the items were not really stolen, they were all given a hypnotic suggestion to make it appear that they were stolen, so that Archer could collect them at a later date.
