Synopsis/Details
Plot Synopsis
The American economy is at an all-time high but is on the verge of collapse at the hands of the crooked and merciless Ricky Cactus and his henchman and alter ego Taxman who punishes his citizens with soaring tax rates, all the while embezzling the funds.
Growing up in the shadow of his hero father, Billy VanCash learns early on in life that his destiny is to become the next great savoir that the citizens of Arch City, and the rest of the country need. When his father falls into a violent trap, orchestrated by his one-time friend, President John Boot, Billy is thrust into action to rescue him.
Using his newly acquired physical and technological skills, he will fight Taxman and his cohorts in order to save his fellow Americans and finally put an end to the corruption that has a stranglehold over the country. He soon finds out that with enormous wealth comes enormous power; Taxman is freed from prison only to set forth another devious plan to take down Arch City’s new superhero – Super Cash, The Crime Buster.
