While hitchhiking, David gets picked up by a woman truck driver. When she shares with him her intent to get her father's tanker truck back from the highwaymen who stole it, he tries to talk her out of following through with her plan. When that doesn't work, he takes it upon himself to help her out.

Looking to gain access to some sophisticated gamma radiation equipment at a nuclear power plant in California, David forges some paperwork to pass himself off as a nuclear plant inspector. However, while he's there, an earthquake happens and causes so much damage that only David – in the form of the Hulk – will be able to fix.
