Courtney Whitmore moves to Blue Valley, former home of Kid Flash, with her mother and her new step-father, Pat. While unpacking, she discovers that Pat used to be Stripesy, part of an all-American crime fighting duo in the 1940's. When Courtney puts on the old Star-Spangled Kid costume for a school dance, she becomes supercharged herself and becomes Blue Valley's newest teen hero.
