Synopsis for "When Hero Turns Villain!"

Captain Britain confronts the Highwayman, but is knocked unconscious as he is still dazed from his recent car crash. Jacko Tanner regains consciousness to find that Brian Braddock has, as he thinks, "scarpered." The Highwayman takes Captain Britain to the Manipulator's underground laboratory, where he is brainwashed into attacking the Queen in front of a crowd of onlookers. The crowd contains Captain Britain's staunch opponent, Chief Inspector Thomas.
