A shady corrupt Factory owner, Blank, makes a fatal error and it costs many of the women inside his building their lives. But not only does he get off on all charges, he became a hero. He didn’t start the fire true technically that was done by an out of control taco truck, but because of all his cuts, because he locked the women inside so he could diddle one of the girls, many lost their lives.

But the survivors and their families, they were not satisfied with any of it. And so they picketed, which only angered  Blank, who sent union busters and police to beat the picketers into submission. When the people need help, but police are all corrupt, they turn to the Goon. He runs the construction worker union, surely he can help the garment workers union.

Franky has his reserves, but few injustices get past the Goon. He may be a thug, but he’s all about the little people, it’s a huge part of his charm.

With the Goon against him, and his police and union busters neutralized, Blank turns to some dark forces to make his profit. But obviously he doesn’t know the Goon, he doesn’t back down from a challenge, and neither will the women.

Powell delivers a power story and even more powerful message. Fans of the Goon will love the action, the story, and the art, which is all classic Goon, and the twist will throw a few for a loop.
