The story

“...I'll Wave to You from the Top!”

A director is impressed with Longshot's physical acrobatics and offers him a job as a stunt man. Longshot befriends Ricochet Rita, and the pair dazzle the cameras. Longshot is attacked by hunters from his home world and is rescued by Magog who is beginning to grow and transform into a more demonic looking creature. During filming, Longshot's luck powers desert him as the making of money is not considered a worthy goal and he is cut down by lasers. The director claims that he is going to rush Longshot to the hospital but ends up dumping him in a river and leaving him to die.
