The Pied Piper is behind Flash's predicament. He has used sonic vibrations to cause Flash to lose control. Once Flash is in jail, he recruits a gang to rob the city while his music lures everyone into the streets. When the crooks try to double-cross the Piper, he breaks Flash out of jail to stop them.
