Synopsis for "The Wrath of the Black Baron!"[]
Just as Kemp is about sink his vampiric fangs into Courtney, he sees that his living gargoyles have captured Captain Britain. Kemp ties Captain Britain up. Captain Britain breaks free, but is re-imprisoned after a short battle. Under the influence of Kemp's mesmeric gaze, he tells him that he found out about him by reading a book in the Thames University library. Kemp orders his old retainer Hugo to put Captain Britain in the dungeon. He turns into a bat and flies to Thames University. In the library, the human Kemp hears some rock music which "has a pulsing beat savage enough for a Satanic orgy." He draws aside the curtain to try and ascertain its whereabouts, and the light of the full moon turns him into a werewolf. Meanwhile, in Darkmoor Castle, Captain Britain frees himself from the dungeon by manipulating his Star Sceptre through telekinesis (which, to the best of my recollection, he has never done before). At Thames University, students enjoying a rock concert are startled when a real live werewolf bursts into the room and starts eating people. Courtney Ross, by the way, has slept through all the shenanigans going on in Darkmoor Castle, and the narrator hints that she may be under a spell.
