SYNOPSIS
Billy and Mentor are riding along when the Elders
call. They tell Billy that he will meet a young lady who he
will have to teach about running away from responsibility.
Soon enough, a stranded motorist named Holly flags
them down for help. Billy and Mentor try to push her car out
of the ditch, and Billy expresses frustration to Mentor that
it would be a lot easier if he could just become Captain Marvel
and push the car right out. Mentor reminds him that he shouldn't
use his powers just for the sake of convenience and should only
become Captain Marvel when it's absolutely necessary. They finally
get the car to a point where Holly can just drive out as they
push. She drives off in a hurry without even a 'thank you', much
to Billy's and Mentor's bewilderment.
In her rush, Holly left her handbag behind. Billy
accidentally drops the contents of the bag and discovers a plastic
bag of dope. He decides to deliver the handbag to Holly on his
motorcycle, and try to find out what's going on.
Meanwhile, Holly's brother Gary and his friend
Mark are waiting for her to bring the drugs to them so they,
in turn, can make a delivery for a pusher named Brok. When Billy
catches up to Holly at her home and learns of the whole deal,
she decides that she wants no part of it and wants Gary to get
out of it, too, but is afraid to say anything. Mentor arrives
and the three agree that Holly should notify the police and turn
over the drugs as evidence against Brok, but, they also agree
that they need to talk to Gary and Mark, too.
Billy and Holly meet the boys at Gary's place and
Holly tries to convince Gary of the right thing to do. Mark,
however, disagrees and even accuses Billy of being a rival drug
pusher who wants a piece of the action. Soon, Brok phones and
is getting impatient. Mark forces Billy to hand the drugs over
and he and Gary take off. What they don't know is that Billy
really gave them a bag of white powder. He gives the real stuff
to Holly and tells her to call the police while he goes after
Gary and Mark. However, Holly gets nervous and pours the drugs
down a sink drain instead of holding them.
Billy tries to pursue Gary and Mark on the motorcycle,
but is held up by an oncoming truck. Sensing he will never catch
them in time, Billy becomes Captain Marvel.
Gary sees Marvel in pursuit and tries to get Mark
to stop, but Mark refuses and the two struggle over the steering
wheel. Mark loses control of the car and swerves off the road
and comes to a stop over a ledge. As the car teeters, Captain
Marvel arrives and pushes the car back to the road. Mentor,
Holly, and the police then turn up and Gary agrees to talk, but
Holly admits that there is no evidence because she poured it
down the drain. Mentor and Captain Marvel agree that while it's
a good thing Gary is confessing, Brok can't be convicted without
any evidence and is still a looming presence. They both agree
it might be a good idea to stay in the area awhile...
