As the episode opens, Captain Marvel is bested by his mysterious rival The Scorpion when he gets… electrocuted. Yeah, Captain Marvel goes down hard from a normal old electrocution. They were still figuring out how to build a superhero back then.
Meanwhile, The Scorpion’s crew of beef-headed gangsters continues to plague Betty with kidnapping attempts. You’ll never believe the deeply stupid method one of them employs to give her car a flat tire, or that they managed to film it without anyone actually dying. We also spend a lot of time with Whitey, the world’s worst sidekick, as he whines about office duty. Thrills!
And, most importantly, Captain Marvel gets to casually murder a couple more guys. He kills with a smile, and you have to love him for it! Because if you don’t, he’ll kill you.
