A crooked cop, a mob boss, and the young girl they abuse are the dwellers of a citys criminal underworld. Its a world that ordinary Arthur Poppington doesnt understand and doesnt belong in, but he is committed to fighting when he changes into a vigilante super-hero of his own making, Defender. With no power other than courage Defender takes to the streets to protect the citys innocents.
On court order, Arthur Poppington is under the psychiatric evaluation of Dr. Ellen Park to determine if he is mentally fit to stand trial for assaulting a dry cleaner/tailor shop owner. That evaluation is more due to his actions under the guise of an alter-ego. During the day, Arthur works as a public works flag person under Paul Carter, his friend and unspoken protector who believes he is mentally slow and who he has not told that he is living in the works yard workshop. At night also unknown to Paul, Arthur, complete with face-painted eye mask, helmet, and masking tape "D" taped to his chest, transforms into super hero Defendor, wielding a billy club, slingshot and other more unique rudimentary yet often effective weapons, fighting for what he believes is morally right in his slightly warped world. As Arthur answers Dr. Parks questions, his story is presented in flashback. That story includes his childhood under the guardianship of his maternal grandfather - with a junkie mother who abandoned him and he not knowing his father - which shaped many of his beliefs. Arthur is well known among the local thugs who believe he is a "retard", and the police department, Captain Roger Fairbanks who believes he is basically harmless despite not welcoming Defendors vigilante justice tactics. Core among Defendors beliefs is that some unknown person named Captain Industry, a drug dealer, is the root of all evil. Kat Debrofkowitz, a junkie hooker with the street name Angel who Arthur befriends through an encounter with a crooked undercover cop named Chuck Dooney, leads Arthur to believe that Captain Industry is a Serbian mobster named Radovan Kristic. As Defendor believes he has to rid the world of Captain Industry, he may not be aware that he is also on Kristics radar, and as such may be in danger because of his Defendor alter ego.
