In the series, Beverly is Magna-Max, a super-hero with the ability to wield magnetic forces, and Baldwin is the obligatory side-kick, Wonder Boy.

He becomes involved with Zamphir who has stolen the only sample of an experimental and potent type of synthetic heroin from a drug gang. After Arndt is killed by the gang attempting to recover their drug sample, Baldwin takes the sample himself, intending to sell it before the gang catches up with him. In short order he finds that the gang is on his trail. He must quickly find a way to sell the drug and make his escape before the gang's hitmen can find him.—Anthony Pereyra {[email protected]}
