Tough ex-army captain, Christopher Grail, returns to Crown City after many years on the death of his estranged, widowed, wealthy father to take control of the inherited family business, an advanced technology firm. He finds his home city rife with crime, orchestrated by a mysterious, unknown Crime-Lord and abetted by a politically-corrupt Mayor Luther King. He adopts the identity of Night-Hood to clean up Crown City. He is supplied with high-tech weaponry and a bodysuit, invented by loyal employee Professor Gideon Stein, and supported in his mission by ex-army martial arts instructor buddy Dan 'Sarge' Larkin, who recently came to Crown City with his daughter, Robyn Larkin, and set up a successful gym and martial arts studio. When 'Sarge' is murdered by protection racketeers for refusing to comply with their demands, his martial arts-trained daughter joins Night Hood as Red Lark to bring her father's killers to justice.
