Once a Hero

Abner Bevis (Milo O'Shea) is the creator of a comic-book superhero called Captain Justice.

The Captain's attempts to fight real-world criminals renew interest in the comic, and the owners agree not to cancel it; also, Bevis is inspired to make it more contemporary.

Adding to the stories is suspicious newspaper reporter Emma Greely (Caitlin Clarke), who keeps snooping around.

Her troubled and precocious son Woody (Josh Blake) knows the truth about Captain Justice, but she doesn't.

It was supposed to be a joke", but when the producers became worried he might not be suitable as the lead, the role was recast with Jeff Lester.
