☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeMr. Universe, a powerful strongman, is crowned and presented by his promoters as they prepare him for matches. When a mysterious organization called Power Inc. expresses interest in him, Universe becomes entangled in their schemes involving a wrestling match and a belt containing a hidden microfilm. After defeating his opponent, Universe is manipulated into handing over the belt to Power Inc.'s representatives, though suspicious circumstances surrounding the fight and the belt's hole suggest he has been deceived. The story continues as Universe travels south with associates to an oil field, where further complications involving Power Inc. and their plans for the microfilm unfold.
When Mr. Universe's unstoppable winning streak threatens the established wrestling order, a shadowy criminal syndicate called Power Inc. moves to block his shot at the championship title—and Detective Barnett begins unraveling evidence that the organization is far more than just a wrestling promotion. Mr. Universe must navigate between his ambitions in the ring and a dangerous underworld scheme that's closing in around him. As the championship fight looms and the law tightens its grip, the young wrestler discovers that stepping into the ring might be the least of his troubles.
When a con artist oil scheme bilks the entire town of Rosedale, Ohio out of their life savings, Mr. Universe and his manager Jeff Clayton realize they know the swindlers from their days back in the city—and discover that Diane Hunt, the reporter assigned to cover the wrestler, has been taken hostage by the fleeing crooks. Now it's a desperate race against time through the countryside to stop the con men before they vanish with both the stolen money and their captive.
