Synopsis:
Claymore, a member of a gang of counterfeiters, has tracked a Checkmate knight back to Koning Industries. To gather more information, Claymore kidnaps pawn Rene Rockwell when she is leaving the facility. He tortures and kills her for information.
Claymore then leads a strike against Checkmate headquarters. He holds Harvey Bullock at gunpoint and demands that the masked man be brought out. Gary Washington fights him and rescues Bullock.
Meanwhile, knight Roger Dayton has infiltrated the gang of counterfeiters. He is able to recover stolen printing plates, take possession of the counterfeit currency, and capture the gang.
