Synopsis:
The Teen Titans visit a Gotham City health club to work out. When Dave, a college student, begins acting strangely the Titans follow him. They catch him buying drugs from a street dealer. The Titans stop the deal and learn that the dealer works for Domingo Esperanza, a racket boss in Gotham.
The Titans go undercover to infiltrate Esperanza's gang. They meet him at a restaurant, but the kids are left behind when Esperanza goes to shake down a local jeweler with Sam Ransom. Sam and Domingo were both involved in a heist at Woodstock in 1969. Ransom was recently released from prison and finds that his hippie lifestyle is out of place after more than a decade in prison.
At the jewelry store, Ransom tries to steal from the showcases. He sets off an alarm which upsets the gang. The Titans move in and capture the gang. Ransom is happy to be going back to prison because he has no place in the modern world.
