Cap tries very hard NOT to star in a movie Red Skull is trying to make about his death. He is able to break Ameridorids programming and escape before the final curtain. The recently deceased Nomad is revealed to the public as a phony. A movie exec pulls the plug on the Captain America movie. Cap takes on the Nihilist Order and battles the Red Skull and gets a little timely help from the dying Ameridroid.
