After some investigating the situation as Ray Palmer, with his lab assistant Enrichetta Negrini begin searching for the energy wavelength of the supposed hyper-space transmissions.
As the Atom, Ray travels through the signal to the Hyper-Thief's hideout. There the Atom learns that the Hyper-Thief is not quite as crafty as once thought, after defeating the crook the Atom learns that the crook works for a safe making company and rigged all the safes with a false bottom which would allow him to give the illusion that the loot was transported somewhere else so that he can go back and steal it at a later date.
