The heroes of Hero Hotline are called away from the office to the scene of an accident. While Diamondette saves the life of an accident victim, the Firebug attacks Hotline headquarters. He fries Soozie-Q's head, then demands to see the coordinator. The heroes return and are able to defeat Firebug. They believe he was hired by the same person who sent the exploding Americommando. Meanwhile, Mr. Muscles is tried for murder.
