He's kept his time-travel abilities relatively secret so far, but now the FBI is on to him. They've shown up on his doorstep, and much to Stosh's surprise, they have a mission for him. They want him to travel back to 1941 and warn President Roosevelt about the impending attack on Pearl Harbor. But when Stosh finds out that the baseball card the FBI wants him to use to travel to 1941 belongs to Ted Williams, one of the greatest batters of all time, he gets to wondering if he can't also do something to alter Ted Williams' history as well.

I'm dead serious -- your life could depend on it....The six of us -- me, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman and Angel -- were made on purpose, by the sickest, most horrible 'scientists' you could possibly imagine.
