Well, Riggley, the owner of the Badgers has been felled by a poison blow-dart before revealing the identity of the Black Toad. Suddenly, his men (dressed fabulously in traditional villain colors, I note) pop out of nowhere with machine guns and stand therefor.
Jeepers creepers, what the heck is that shield made outta? [That's a rhetorical question. I know what it's made out of. Do not tell me. Geek.] Fortunately it simply doesn't occur to them to shoot Cap in the leg. Why doesn't anyone in comics ever think of shooting people in the leg?
This being the Golden Age and all, Bucky saves Cap's leg in the most amusing and ironic way possible: hitting the goons in the face with baseballs.
Give that fan a contract! The Black Toad, defanged of his assistants, makes to get away. And thanks to the patented "ant-cam" that porno videographers insist on using, just when the scene was getting interesting, we get this fantastic shot of the Black Toad's crotch in flight:
Perhaps "Black Beaver" might have been a more appropriate nom du crime. Well, I might not like ant-cam shots, but Cap seems to, as he roughly pins the Black Toad to the ground beneath him, and orders him to take off his clothes:
HOT! Suddenly, I see the appeal of Captain America. Oh, and speaking of baseballs: nice arms, Cap! And the Black Toad turns out to be.... SOMEONE WE'VE NEVER HEARD OF!
"And I would have gotten away with it, too, if hadn't been you snoopy kids ... and yer dog!" Chuck McArthur, the team's manager, was the guy we saw shadowed in the first panel of the story, making insinutations on the safety of the team's star players. This tells us: Riggley was asking for it. He pretty much deserved to die. I mean... would you hire a manager with sharkteeth?
So, as you'd expect the Black Toad gets imprisoned.
Whoa. Or not..Guess that explains why we haven't seen the Black Toad again..
