Synopsis
Fresh from their adventure with a werewolf, Lance and Kim enter a town and meet the Porcupine, who wore a coat of killer quills that he can throw with great accuracy, as well as using his body to topple walls by throwing himself into them. The quills were charged with electricity from the villain's own body, a property which he acquired from stumbling into an electric chair at the penitentiary. When Captain Triumph emerges on the scene, a battle ensues and the Porcupine dies when he is short-circuited by water.
