Synopsis:
King Faraday overhears two men plotting to kill an arriving passenger in a train station. He doesn't see the faces of the killers, but he manages to get a description of the intended victim. King searches for a passenger matching the description. He then recognizes the killer's voice and realizes the victim is a young red-headed woman. King protects her and rushes into the train tunnel. The killers try to follow, but are run over by a train.

King questions the woman, Julie Stevens, and is invited to her house. He is unable to learn why she was targeted for murder. While looking at Julie's photographs, another killer attacks King. Once again, he doesn't see the killer, but he escapes unharmed. He then rescues Julie from a similar fate.

King returns to the room where he was attacked and learns the reason Julie was targeted. One of her photographs pictured her dancing with a Nazi war criminal Martin Vormann. Vormann is trying to kill Julie to prevent her from identifying him. The Nazi holds King and Julie at gunpoint and escapes the house. He tries to escape by plane, but King stops him by crashing his car into the taxiing plane.
