Synopsis for "The Thunder God and the Thug!"
Mob leader Thug Thatcher, under arrest for selling sub-standard steel, is freed by his men in a shootout with the police right outside Don Blake's office building. Thug is wounded in the escape. Two of his men kidnap Blake and bring him to Thug's hideout to remove a bullet. After the procedure, Thug orders his men to kill Blake, in defiance of his girlfriend Ruby, who loves Thug desperately despite his actions and pleads for Don's life. His cane taken from him, Blake telepathically requests help from Odin, who sends lightning which forces Thug's henchmen to drop it. Grabbing the cane, Blake becomes Thor and captures the gang. However, Thug escapes and takes Jane hostage. Thor rescues her and Thug flees to a construction site, ascending the unfinished building and falling when a girder built from his sub-standard steel collapses. Thor saves him and turns him over to the police. Seeking to help the heart-broken Ruby, Thor asks Odin wo wipe Thug from her memory.
