Synopsis

John Sterling completes the chemical formula which will completely protect him from the underworld's bullets, unlike his murdered father who was killed by a group of ruthless gangsters. John bathes himself in the formula, which has been poured into a cauldron of molten steel, dives in the cauldron, and emerges as a man with the resistance, magnetism and strength of steel.
