Synopsis for "Starman, FBI Agent"
Starman is approached to join the FBI to stop Carmichael "Melter" Manning. He's told he will only have to provide some muscle but the FBI will do most of the work.
As they travel to the venue, they ask about his Rod. Starman skirts the issue. After getting out of the car, Starman turns on the FBI agents with the Rod and knocks them out.
Woodley Allen walks out and congratulates Starman on his job of picking out they were actually German spies. Starman replies it was easy when he already worked for the FBI and these men didn't know that.
