Synopsis
Worldwide bank robberies committed in an impenetrable fog of black smoke are Chief Fumblethumbs latest worry. The only clues are pieces of broken capsules littered throughout the crime scenes. When the Police Commissioner threatens to fire Chief Fumblethumbs for not solving the case, Fumblethumbs turns to 8th Man for help. 8th Man investigates every scene where a bank robbery has occurred and uncovers several more clues. Following up on these, he comes face to face with Dr. Sinister and his Black Fog Bank Mob. But as 8th Man soon learns, Dr. Sinister is no easy foe to defeat.
