Seymour
the All-Seeing Astrologer studies his star charts and other professional
paraphernalia and concludes that Los Angles will sink into the sea at noon that
very day. He tries to inform the news media but no one believes him….
At
the 1988 Los Angeles Manufacturers Exposition, Hawkeye has been hired by politician
Richard Obadiah Johnston to guard the fabulous diamond the Star of Angels as it
sits atop a scale model of the city. A gang of crooks after the diamond invades
the hall and their leader fires a concussive blast at Hawkeye’s back wrecking
his quiver of arrows, rendering him weaponless (or so they think). Using his
smarts, some odd trick arrowheads, and an intact arrow he finds, he is able to
hold off the bad guys. Meanwhile, Seymour has entered the convention hall and
pleads with Johnston to evacuate the city. Hawkeye sets off a giant flash
camera, blinding himself and most everybody else. The bad guy leader has
grabbed the diamond, Hawkeye shoots him with a smoke arrow, knocking him
backwards into the city diorama and pushing it into a tank of water. Johnston
realizes that this fulfills Seymour’s prophecy and the astrologer becomes the
hit of the Expo, attracting the attention of the media. Seymour predicts that
Richard Obadiah Johnston will be President someday and, judging by Seymour’s
track record, Johnston wonders “President of what? “
