• Black Force

A special telephone rings at the headquarters of FORCE + FOUR. Jason, the group's leader, answers and is told that a valuable African art object has been stolen. He accepts a commission to recover the object. As he hangs up he sees that partial payment and pictures of the object have already been delivered in an envelope pushed under the door. Jason goes through a sliding door into the private gym where we meet the rest of the group known as FORCE + FOUR. Each of the four is a karate specialist: Billie. the petite, dangerous! female; Eric 6'8", a giant intellect as well as a man to be wary of; Adam, easy-going and cheerful until attacked when he becomes a fearful fighter; and Jason, the leader of the group, a dedicated cool karate master who can handle any situation.
