In the meantime in Mexico, an evil scheme to abolish Captain America is underway -- courtesy of the scion of Baron Heinrich Zemo! Oh my goodness! Baron Helmut Zero -- the thirteenth in the line of Prussian barons -- has captured Steve Roger's longtime friend Arnie Roth and dared Cap to come rescue him!
