Synopsis for "The Thunder God and the Thug"

The story starts when Thug Thatcher is freed when he is headed for prison. In the subsequent gunfight with the police Thatcher is hit in the shoulder. The whole scene takes place right before the building of Dr. Don Blake, so the gangster is brought up to Blake by his helpers Vince and Max. Jane is tied to a chair and Blake is brought back to Thatcher's hideout. Blake bandages Thatcher, but then the villain orders Blake to be killed. Blake mentally contacts Odin, who helps him out of this stressing situation. Blake retrieves his cane and transforms into Thor. He defeats Thatcher's mobsters and ties them up in a blanket and hangs the blanket to a tree. Thatcher escapes with his girlfriend Ruby to Blake's office. There he takes Jane hostage, but Thor frees her from his grasp. Thatcher retreats to a construction site and shoots at Ruby when she wants to persuade him to turn himself in. Thor defeats Thatcher and hands him over to the police. Then Thor asks Odin to remove the love Ruby has for Thatcher from her mind, so she is free from this tragic love.
