The long-retired Captain Sturdy must return to action when the Union of Super Heroes cancels his pension. Upon returning to duty, he discovers that the organization has lost sight of what it means to be a superhero and has become more concerned with political correctness and marketing deals than saving the world from the evil Moid's clutches. Captain Sturdy, along with his trusty sidekick Ultra Boy (who just turned 51), responds by flinging his cape over his arthritic shoulders and rededicating himself to the battle for truth, justice and senior citizen discounts.
