Kid Eternity battles tomorrow's crimes today in two stories: one involving a magical bat that summons Lou Gehrig, the legendary baseball player, to help a young boy, and another in which Betty Bates and her trainer investigate the disappearance of a racehorse named La-Phar, with the trainer planning to track down information about the missing thoroughbred from Eddie Narvo, a jockey who raced overseas.
