(Flash Comics #79) - Eel was released on parole, and deciding jail was for suckers he was determined to find a way to make a way by working with the law instead of against it. He met with his old gang, who lent him enough money to incorporate a new town Eeltown. He hired the Three Dimwits to serve as mayor, judge and chief of police and started posting advertisements extolling the low cost of living in Eeltown. Jay Garrick told Joan Williams he was running out of space for his lab equipment in his apartment, and Joan suggested he rent a house in Eeltown. With a number of people having moved into town eel set in motion his plan to start raking in cash. He wrote a number of ridiculous laws into the town by-laws, and had the Three Dimwits arrest a number of citizens and fine them for such violations as failure to install a telephone, failing to eat lunch at noon or not wearing a red tie on Monday. Jay changed into Flash to research the laws, and realized he couldn’t directly confront Eel and his gang because a bunch of the laws specifically targeted him such as laws against fighting or flinging people into the air. Flash caused a number of accidents like pushing one of the gang out a window, knocking a crook in the face with a door and unhitching a horse from the gang’s wagon until Eel and his crew could no longer stand living in their own town. Flash told eel the city would prosper without him and bid him goodbye.
