THE WHEEL OF MISFORTUNE! The criminal professor Amos Fortune gloating over his wheel of misfortune, which holds the members of the Justice League captive. Surely our super heroes don't believe in bad luck? But when Aquaman encounters an ancient curse, Wonder Woman has her path crossed by a black cat, The Flash breaks a mirror, Green Lantern spills some salt, Green Arrow runs under a ladder and Martian Manhunter breaks a spiders web - and each JLAer then makes an uncharacteristic mistake in the carrying out of their duties, they begin to wonder. Present as an observer at each event has been the man known as Amos Fortune. Fortune believes he is responsible for the bad luck each JLA member has just encountered. Fortune has studied luck for years - eventually finding a formula he believes never fails - and has discovered that the human body can be controlled by stimulating the twin good luck and bad luck glands within them. Fortune has developed a Stimoluck - a scientific invention he uses to stimulate his own good luck and the JLA's bad luck. When the JLA meet for their regular monthly meeting, the stories of their bad luck comes to the fore. As soon as they realize what has been happening, and reach the conclusion that someone could have planned the whole thing, they dismiss that particular idea and turn their attention to a couple of letters they have received. Splitting into teams, Green Arrow joins the Flash and J'onn J'onzz to investigate a case of lost treasure...
