Power Man and Iron Fist have been hired to be bodyguards for the popular rock musician Rip Chord, who is taking a cross country tour on a specially made train (called the "Madball Express") to record his next album. When a would be assassin tries to kill Power Man and Iron Fist by dropping a cinder block on Power Man's head, the pathetic attempt is easily stopped and the two heroes learn that a man only known as Goldeneye was the one who hired people to kill Rip Chord.
