In the end he will have to infiltrate the mysterious gangster’s hide-out in a dangerous cat-and- mouse rescue mission to save not only The Eagles’ two kidnapped star players, but that of his beautiful love interest, Beauty (Abigail Kubeka). The odds will be stacked against him, but he’s the man that fights crime, the man that no one can tie down!Joe Bullet!
