Synopsis:

Robin and Cluemaster are trapped in the back of an armoured van which is buried in concrete, and have a very limited supply of air. Luckily for them, once the other villains realise that the police and Spoiler are on their tail, they return to get the cash and run. Spoiler is rather surprised to see Robin emerge from the van once she knocks out the Electrocutioner; it soon becomes apparent that she has developed a crush on Robin.
