Synopsis:
Tina, Jerry and Mason continue their search for Wally West in the American southwest. Their presence in a small rural community draws the attention of the local sheriff David Castillo. Eventually the trio hear reports of a porcupine man in the desert. Castillo blames the reports of local folklore. However, Tina believes that Wally may be involved. Her theory is confirmed when they find Wally hiding in a barn with spikes protruding from every part of his body.
