Before they all met, Red worked on a radio tower for President Domingo in a South American country where a kid asks Red to stop the dictator's evil plans, teaching Red true heroism. Ace ran a tiny air service delivering nitro to prospectors and when a crate breaks loose he heroically delivered the cargo. Flying to their appearance on the Heroes TV show, Ace's plane crashes and they become men "living on borrowed time." Clayton claims that what they don't know is that he saved their lives after the crash. In return, he wants them to go to South America and assemble a giant statue for him.
