captives of Stox/Count Nefaria along with Sharon Carter and Mehmet
Kemel. Nefaria is planning to create a horde of powerful creatures
who will supply him with ion-power. Cap and Sharon bicker over their
recent romantic troubles as Kemel is bombarded with horrible
radiation. Cap, wrapped in a serpent inside a cage manages to kick
his shield out and push the madman's machine away from Kemel. Cap
breaks out of the cage n leaps in front of the beam which strikes the
serpent forcing it to release Cap. Nefaria tries to flee; Cap
releases Sharon and Matthew and pursues the villain outside onto a
rickety rope bridge that leads to Nefaria's escape craft. The baddie
uses a remote control device to summon his ship, having it fire at
Cap and destroy the bridge. Climbing up the wrecked bridge, Cap
removes the device from Nefaria's ear and the villain plunges to his
doom? No, Matthew swings down on a vine and snatches him out of the
air....
