There, in his messy studio apartment he is visited by a talent agent named Tom Drummond, who wants to represent Chaz.

Chaz thinks it over and agrees. He is then launched into a whirl wind of talk shows, endorsement deal and staged outings with celebrity starlets. Everything seems to be going well until he is at a party and is approached by Paige. Chaz still loves his ex-wife but she has moved on and breaks his heart again. While Chaz is leaving the party he hears a cry for help and saves a woman from being raped by a well dressed man.

The man is the studio CEO and files charges against Chaz, this leads to Chaz being dropped by Drummond, and ending his career. Whats worst Dummond owns the Red Thunder brand and Chaz can never dress up like the hero again.
