Synopsis:
Crooks rob a series of charity events. When they strike at a benefit in Chinatown, the Vigilante and Stuff confront them. The robbery is stopped, but one of the crooks escapes. Vigilante follows him and is led to the Scorpion, the costumed leader of the gang. Vig and Stuff are captured after the crooks pretend to be dead. The heroes are then left in a death trap. They manage to escape, then Vigilante tracks down the Scorpion and his men at their next robbery. Vig and the Scorpion battle and both fall from a cliff into the water below. Vigilante surfaces, but the Scorpion disappears.
