Dragman

August Crimp leidt een geheim leven: hij houdt ervan om vrouwenkleding te dragen. Wanneer hij een jurk aantrekt kan hij zelfs vliegen. Omdat Crimp zich schaamt, houdt hij zijn identiteit verborgen. Totdat een meisje van een gebouw valt en hij wel moet vliegen om haar te kunnen redden. Daarna is zijn leven niet meer hetzelfde; hij wordt een superheld. Als Dragman gaat hij de strijd aan met hebzucht, het kwaad en zijn eigen onzekerheid - om uiteindelijk zichzelf, zijn huwelijk en de menselijke ziel te redden.
