In Paris, 1941,
Captain America
challenges the Red Skull, who is holding Bucky Barnes hostage and threatening
to destroy the city. The Living Legend ramps his motorcycle up the Eiffel
Tower and rams his fist into the
Skull’s face atop his dirigible….
Back at the Louvre, the Howling Commandos and the French Resistance
team are the captives of Baron Strucker and the Nazis. They have been betrayed
by one of their own, Olivier Batroc; when the traitor learns that the city will
still be destroyed he assaults Strucker and is shot down. That is the signal
for the Americans and French to turn on their enemies and overpower them….
Cap punches the Red Skull so that he falls through a tear in
the dirigible’s skin with his bombs. As the airship explodes, Cap grabs Bucky
and dives for safety. Nick Fury informs him that the threat to the city is over
and Resistance leader Marilyne rewards him with a kiss. Cap and Bucky head
along to their next adventure….
Epilogue: After his revival, Nick Fury takes Cap to Arlington
Cemetery to see the monuments
raised in memory of Captain America
and Bucky. Cap destroys his own statue and takes off, mourning his lost pal….
