![]() So, Bob was blown up last week, Professor Scott was kidnapped and evil triumphed. This week promises men made of steel. Let’s get it on. Bob’s car ploughs into the flaming gasoline. You’ll notice that Bob has already jumped out.
He’s fine. He’s still wearing a silly mask and failing to fight crime but he’s fine.
Dr Satan gets a call on his mobile – the good news is that Professor Scott is safe in one of Satan’s secret hideouts.
Scott is offered a cigarette but refuses it. Instead, he asks his jailer "would you like to make a lot of money?" Is it me or does that sound vaguely sexual?
The hoodlum sounds as if he’s take the money and help Scott escape but he wears one of Dr Satan’s control bras and if anyone tries to remove it he would be electrocuted. It almost makes you feel sorry for evil henchmen when you hear their side of the story.
Scott pledges to help his captor and starts playing with some nearby equipment.
The man removes his shirt. So it WAS sexual. Scott tells him to stand on a rubber mat.
He attaches electrodes to the man’s nipples. This is outrageous.
It works! The charge from the techno bra is completely neutralised and the baddie is free.
Dr Satan arrives. He tells the lackey he can leave. The lackey’s name is Scarlet. That’s not very manly.
Scarlet pulls a gun on Dr Satan but the Doctor is clever enough to press a secret button. That’s a nice control panel – does it allow him to summon a bath and a cave as well as a robot?
OMG~!
Heaven knows what is happening above the waist. All we get is this arty shot of legs, legs and more legs.
Professor Scott is appalled.
Dr Satan asks if Professor Scott admires his robot. Scott says it is monstrous. Satan tells him he will be working on the robot from now on.
Meanwhile, back at Scott Towers, Lois is worried about her father having fallen into enemy hands. Then she remembers that Scott has his own private radio frequency and switches the wireless on so they can monitor his wavelength.
By a stroke of luck, he’s got a radio in his workshop and his guards are too dumb to realise that when a man whistles while working under duress it probably means he’s up to something.
His whistling is picked up at Scott Towers. It is her father’s favourite tune – "The Bluebells of Scotland".
Scott gets rid of two of his jailers – sending them on a shopping trip to an address he gives twice so Bob and Lois (who he seems to know are listening) time to note it down.
Bob arrives at the electrical store and asks the owner if two men have bought a transformer recently. He says yes and points them out as they drive away. I smell a car chase.
They conveniently lead Bob to Satan’s base. Bob puts on his Copperhead mask and prepares to sneak in.
They realise someone is following them and set a trap.
Bob is captured embarrassingly easily.
But a fight breaks out.
Bob wins but sets off a secret alarm while blundering about the building.
The Copperhead takes out one guard. You’ll note the brilliance of his attack – cover the mouth while the man is smoking. He’ll be so desperate for his next drag that he’ll do anything Bob wants. Addicts – you can’t beat them.
Satan has prepared for Bob’s attack by making Professor Scott look silly.
Dr Satan takes cover as his alarm system tells him the Copperhead is almost upon them. Well, "takes cover" in the sense that he stands in the middle of the floor, right in front of the door and makes no effort to hide. Same difference.
He sees the shadow of the Copperhead in the window. He fires.
The Copperhead falls through the door.
Dead.
The moment the serial has been building up to for nearly 15 weeks – the unmasking of the Copperhead… takes place in the 5th chapter. That doesn’t sound right.
SWERVE~! It wasn’t the Copperhead under the Copperhead mask – it was one of Satan’s own chaps. Bob enters wearing a hankie over his face. Can we start calling him Hankieman now? Or does that sound too Jewish?
He tells Satan to stand with his back to the fun while he puts his mask on.
No peeking!
His mask now in place, Bobberhead goes over to free the Professor. Leaving Dr Satan exactly where he was the last time someone held him at gun point in that very room. No points for guessing what he’ll do next.
Oh no! I hoped he’d run himself a bath.
But there is a twist – a second button.
He vanishes before the Copperhead can shoot him.
Here comes the robot.
Bullets can’t harm it. The deadly machine of death grabs Bob as he tries to escape.
He’s raping him. He’s raping him.
The robot is going to have his amorous way with the Copperhead. It’s the long, flowing copper locks isn’t it? It’s driven him wild with lust.
Bob’s in big trouble.
