Plot
Claude Kane III goes home after driving Gloria Grand home. When he comes home he finds Rod Runtledge listening to music that is not to his taste. The music program is interrupted by a news report that Snooty's House of Jewelry has just been robbed. The two of them go to stop the robbering but they are too late. In the days that follow, the robberies continue in Zenith City and Radioactive Man and Fallout Boy are always too late. Fallout Boy and Radioactive Man study where the robberies have taken place, and discover that they have all taken place around Lars Henny Lasso Co. Fallout Boy realizes that Larceny Lass is behind the robberies, and Radioactive Man goes to the warehouse to find Larceny Lass, who has prepared a romantic dinner. When he refuses, she tells her goons to turn off the horrible music that they are listening to. Larceny Lass fires a ray gun at Radioactive Man and he gets hit, so the guys start to attack him. Larceny Lass then tries to give Radioactive Man one last dose of the ray gun before he dies, but the battery is dead so she can't use it. Fallout Boy comes and starts attacking the guys, who start to escape. Then Larceny Lass escapes, too.
The next day, Radioactive Man is feeling better and Fallout Boy visits the music store to buy several albums as Radioactive Man tells Fallout Boy about his plan. The next day, a rock concert is being held at Zenith Bowl. Larceny Lass hears that the box office is expected to make over $50.0000. This gives Larceny Lass an idea: she sends her boys to the concert and they steal all the cash. The celebrity performer turns out to be Radioactive Man. The boys decide to carry out the robbery while he is on stage because then he cannot bother them, but when they try to drive away with the money, the car won't start. It turns out that Fallout Boy has removed the engine and is hiding inside the car, and he arrests the boys. Fallout Boy dresses up as one of the boys and gives Larceny Lass the money, and while she counts the money, he destroys her ray gun. Radioactive Man then enters the house and begins to fight Larceny Lass, and she discovers that Fallout Boy has destroyed her gun and she is arrested. Fallout Boy then reminds Radioactive Man that he has a concert to get to.
