Characters Challengers of the Unknown [Ace Morgan; Rocky Davis; Prof Haley; Red Ryan] Challengers of the Unknown [Ace Morgan; Rocky Davis; Prof Haley; Red Ryan]
Synopsis Continued from last issue... The not-yet-Challengers investigate who sabotaged their plane... Red Ryan escorts an old friend, Johnny Green, in Las Vegas, when a car tries to run them down! Johnny explains HE was the target, not the heroes. Johnny won $300K from mobsters but hadn't collected. He was to fly to Vegas with Red. Mobsters planted a plastic sabotage device to crash the plane: plastic to fool metal detectors. The heroes meet the mobsters. A fight brings "Chaos in the Casino". Johnny gets paid and the mob goes to jail. And the heroes finally get their TV appearance as "Challengers of the Unknown!" Continued from last issue...
