King Cycle Deals Death!

A biker gang lead by King Cycle is robbing museums of their ancient treasures Red Wolf attempts to stop them but they end up getting away. While walking back to his home he spots a policewoman lying distressed on the steps of the museum. He goes to her aid and she pulls a gun on him thinking Red Wolf might be the gang back to finish the job. She informs him that she was off duty when she spotted the robbery and attempted to stop them. She also introduces herself as Jill Tomahawk and that she is of the Mohawk People and that she intends to catch King Cycle herself to prove she is just as good as any male officer. The two agree that they will help each other with the gang and that Jill will send out a smoke signal to alert Red Wolf of their whereabouts before the two depart from one another.

Later Red Wolf checks up on Lobo who's paw had been injured earlier before the skirmish with the biker gang and waits for Jill's signal. Red Wolf eventually receives her signal and goes to stop the Biker Gang as they are in the process of robbing another Museum. Red Wolf fights the gang but they again make their escape, only this time Red Wolf makes use of Lobo's nose since he is present. This allows Red Wolf and Lobo to track the gang to their mansion hideout where Red Wolf discovers that Jill has been kidnapped and placed on a large disc to which she is shackled. When approaching her the disc begins to spin so rapidly that it may kill her so Red Wolf backs off realizing it is some sort of motion sensor setting it off. Red Wolf then spots King Cycle and his gang in the main chamber and confronts them. Cycle attempts to flee but is trapped in a dead end and so he starts up the disc putting Jill in mortal danger then smashing the controls. Red Wolf acting quickly knocks out Cycle and takes his hammer and smashes the nearby workings of the disc spinner saving Jill from her torment and possible death.

Red Wolf sets Jill aside to rest just as Lobo enters the mansion and keeps guard of the remaining conscious gang members. Red Wolf then phones the police and informs them that Jill was the one that captured the gang and their leader. Jill overhears this and scolds him saying he was the one who did the capturing and that she will not accept his pitiful attempt at giving her credit for a job she didn't do, but ultimately she thanks him for the job and Red Wolf leaves the mansion seeing the spirit of the Owayodata complimenting him on a job well done.
