Synopsis for "Menace of the Super-Gorilla"
When Barry Allen's friend, stage actor Fred Pearson (and star of the show "The Great Gorilla") fears that he may be the strange gorilla creature that stalks the city at night, he calls Barry for help. What in reality is going on proves to be even stranger: The night-stalking gorilla turns out to be a super-ape named Grodd, who has come to Central City from Gorilla City, located in a hidden city in Africa. He has come seeking the worlds greatest mind so that he may learn the secret of Force of Mind and use it to control the armies of Gorilla City in order to take over the world.
Grodd finds it in Solovar, a member of his own race whom has been captured by humans and poses as an ordinary ape in order to keep Gorilla City a secret from the world of humans. Stealing the abilitiy, Grodd then returns to Gorilla City to take it over.
Solovar free himself and seeks out the Flash and asks for his help in stopping Grodd. The two travel to Africa where in Gorilla City, Grodd has just taken over the army. Flash manages to battle Grodd and by spinning around Grodd really fast, manages to knock Grodd out and remove the knowledge of Force of Mind from his memories. Flash then turns Grodd over to Solovar for punishment, and promises not to reveal the secret of Gorilla City. Returning to Central City, as Barry, the Flash tells his friend Fred that he need not worry about the strange gorilla sightnings anymore, and then takes Iris out on a date to the Zoo.
