SESSION #1

ASTEROID BLUES

Small-time hoodlum Asimov Solenson and his girlfriend Catalina are on the run from the mob with a priceless shipment of the illegal drug “Bloody Eye.” There’s also a bounty on their heads, and freelancer Spike Spiegel is determined to get it. The couple twice elude Spike in a chase across the surface of Mars, but his Swordfish II speedster is a tough craft to outrun. A tough, uncompromising opening, considered “too hot” for Japanese terrestrial TV, and only shown on the serial’s satellite run.

SESSION #2

STRAY DOG STRUT

Notorious pet-thief Abdul Hakim is on the run with a stolen experimental creature, but Spike and Jet have a lead. Thanks to a tip-off from a disgruntled plastic surgeon, the boys are the only ones who know Hakim’s new face, and plan on bringing him in before anyone else finds out. Except Hakim’s lost his pet to another thief, and the super-intelligent creature has given them both the slip.

SESSION #3

HONKY TONK WOMEN

Legendary gambler Faye Valentine is on the run with a six million woolong price on her head. Casino-owner Gordon makes her an offer she can’t refuse – “help” a special client to lose all his money, and he’ll pay off her stupendous debts. The prize: the best code-breaking program in the history of mankind, hidden inside a special casino chip… a chip that falls into the unsuspecting hands of Spike Spiegel…
