Captain America is facing the warped and twisted "Adonis" housing the brain of evil industrialist Eric Cameron, who is bent on revenge against his son Brady whose scheming was responsible for his disaster. In the ensuing (brief) battle the lab is set afire and Adonis panics and escapes through a window. Cap trails the monster to a lake in some nearby woods and assumes that the creature has drowned beneath its dark waters…..
The next day, Steve Rogers stops off for breakfast with Josh Cooper at his landlady Mrs Kappelbaum’s apartment. He then heads to a job interview with the abrasive Ed Plumber; spotting that the man is a WW2 veteran, Steve quickly makes a friend of the gruff businessman. That evening, Adonis/Cameron stows away in the back of a truck and returns to the city. Now insane, he intends to destroy all beauty, starting with the artworks in Central Park. The police are helpless but Captain America, having heard the report of the monster on the radio, arrives to prevent Adonis from killing an attractive woman. Lightning (similar to the electricity that created him) spooks Cameron and he rushes off through the sewers. Cap trails him to a construction site near a lake and another battle ensues. There Adonis is trapped on a bulldozer which crashes into an arc light near the water, electrocuting him. Cap pauses to feel sorry for his grotesque foe.
