Episode Summary

A cargo plane en route to M.C.C. carrying the world's last supply of Neutron-90 is shot down by Overlord over the New York Zone. Now, it's up to the Zone Riders to recover the Neutron-90 (and the pilot of the cargo plane) before Overlord finds it and creates a weapon that would render the existing Zone Riders' suits useless!

Episode Notes

This is, without a doubt, my favorite episode of SPIRAL ZONE. And how couldn't it be? It's the pilot episode and they went all out on the animation and production values. The story and dialogue are first class too. If every episode of SPIRAL ZONE was this well written and produced, it would have a different place in animation history today.
