HISTORY
CAPTAIN ZENITH, the super speedster of the British Isles, Captain races ever vigilantly to fight evil in all its forms. One day, CAPTAIN ZENITH hears a sudden cry--"HELP!"

"Sounds like trouble," CAPTAIN ZENITH exclaims! The amazing man of speed leaps into action

"Say what happened?" asks CAPTAIN ZENITH.

"Two men attacked me. Got away with my wallet - priceless pearls. Grey car with dented rear mudguard," the dazed man relates to the hero. CAPTAIN ZENITH speeds into action....

"He said the car headed down the Longshore Highway," muses Captain Zenith as he races down the road. "Plenty of cars, but none answering the description. That's strange" thinks Captain Zenith to himself. "Couldn't have turned off anywhere before I covered the whole of the highway. I've been too fast. I've get back and have another word with the victim!"

Racing back to the scene of the crime…"Hmmm. He's with the police—nothing I can do.." comments Captain Zenith.

But the following day in his flat Captain Zenith reads...."Hello! Mason Fleger robbed of pearls insured for $20,000.00. AH! I think I see." ponders Captain Zenith. "I'll pay Fleger a surprise visit. A quick change and I'm off!"

After changing into his costume, Captain Zenith like a human fly clambers to the window of Fleger's flat. "Ah! Fleger and someone else" says Captain Zenith as he observes Fleger’s flat through the window.

Inside, an unknown man tells Fleger, "Looks like we fooled everyone, Mason. We've still got the pearls, and we get the insurance!"

"Yes, Bull, you did well. But its a good thing I gave Zenith that fake description of the car" boasts Fleger.

You fooled me only for a little while, Fleger!" yells Captain Zenith as he breaks into Flegers flat.

"Zenith! Get him, Bull!" shouts the panicked Fleger!

"Take that, you crook!" Captain Zenith as he lands a haymaker on Bull who slams into Fleger knocking him unconscious as well. "Fleger and Bull were dealt with by the law. One way or another the law always wins!" proclaims Captain Zenith!
