Strongman

The Strongman overhears the attempted murder of a rebel who is against the Great Sanchez, an invading dictator of El Matador. Smashing into the building, the Strongman saves the man, who is named Don Amigo. He learns that the Great Sanchez is plotting to attack the Panama Canal. Agreeing to help, the Strongman tells Don to go to Swellport, saying that Percy Van Norton is charting a course to Panama.

In his civilian guise of wealthy playboy Percy Van Norton, he brings his yacht to the nation of El Matador. When they arrive Don Amigo is hailed as a hero but the Great Sanchez sends his armies to quell the people. Percy slips away to change into the Strongman and systematically disassembles Sanchez’s armies. Fearing for his life, the Great Sanchez and his general try to flee El Matador. Seeing this, the Strongman tosses one of the artillery shells at the fleeing dictator, killing him in the blast. With the Great Sanchez dead, Don Amigo is elected the new leader of El Matador. With the dictatorship smashed, the Strongman sneaks back aboard his yacht and resumes his civilian guise, claiming that he was on the ship lazing about the whole time.
