Overview
Super Dave makes a passionate stand against the colourization of old black and white films. A dance act is planned with "The Christopher Dancers", but as only one of them shows up, Super dismisses him. KD Lang sings "Angel With a Lariat". The lone Christopher Dancer returns and manages to perform a group act, to "ABC" and "The Love You Save" by the Jackson Five. On the compound, Super Dave tries to perform the "Invisible Wall" stunt, in which Fuji will sprinkle Magic Dust on the ground, and Super will drive a car with no brakes through it, and the "Invisible Wall" created by the dust will stop the car before it hits a bulldozer.
