Things have been cleared up after the riot at the neo-Nazi rally; Nazi leader Harry Todd takes a potshot at Captain America who clobbers him with his shield. Anti-Nazi leader Sammy Bernstein thanks Cap for talking sense into him as he is being led away to jail. And Bernie Rosenthal looks at Cap in such a way that he realizes she knows his secret identity.
Interlude: An executive at the Coalition for an Upstanding America has the ideal of asking Captain America to endorse their organization….
Steve is afraid to go home because he can’t face Bernie; she sees him and runs out to meet him. They reaffirm their love for one another but are interrupted by Gail Runciter calling him to a meeting with "the boss." Cap goes to SHIELD HQ where Nick Fury tells him that Arnie Roth and Michael Bech were carried off by a monster (last issue) and the villains left an invitation for Cap to come rescue them….
At the late night rendezvous, Cap is approached by a mystery man who turns out to be an android which takes him for a ride in a small aircar to a dark castle in the wilderness. Walking down a creepy corridor, Cap is mobbed by androids which ooze out from the walls. He fights them off and enters a lab where he finds Arnie and Michael in life-support tubes. The lights come on, revealing his enemies to be the new Baron Zemo and Arnim Zola….
