Synopsis
A group of disabled people organize to appeal for their rights; their first mission is to protest a major bus line (“Silverhound,” ha ha) for having no wheelchair accessible vehicles. They blockade the company’s L.A. bus terminal with leader
Jim Clay chaining himself behind the wheel of a bus. The mood grows ugly as frustrated passengers demand to complete their trips.
Tony Stark hears about the incident on the radio and, having recently been cured of paralysis, heads out there as
Iron Man to forestall any violence. But the bus with Jim Clay has been sabotaged; it begins rolling down the street and ends up perched on the edge of a bridge. Iron Man prevents it from falling but another protestor is revealed to be trapped beneath the bus. While
Shellhead holds the vehicle in place, Jim Clay, using only the strength of his arms, frees his partner. The bus company agrees to the group’s demands and Tony Stark calls Jim Clay a hero.

Tony Stark is seeking a new secretary; the next applicant, a
Mrs. Arbogast, is asked to wait in Mr. Stark’s office for his return from an urgent matter. As she sits in the office,
Iron Man and
Whirlwind appear outside the window, locked in combat. They crash inside and as the two antagonists thrash around the room, Mrs Arbogast deftly rescues the goldfish and fields phone calls. When Whirlwind seizes her, she hands him the phone saying, “It’s for you.” Thus distracted, the villain is clobbered by Iron Man. As the hero carries his fallen foe away, Mrs. Arbogast sets herself to the task of straightening up the office. When Tony Stark finally arrives, he offers her the job without an interview.
