Bad Horse has insisted that only a murder will get Doctor Horrible into the Evil League of Evil, and now that Captain Hammer is dating Penny it seems that his death would be the perfect choice. Will our villain pull off his dastardly plan? And what will Penny think of him if he succeeds?

After accidentally introducing Penny and Captain Hammer in the first place, Dr. Horrible is devastated that they seem pretty close. He concentrates on his freeze ray heist but after another setback, Bad Horse insists on a special demonstration of evil.

Dr. Horrible is a low-rent super-villain whose main goal is to get into the Evil League of Evil. In his online video blog he talks about his arch-nemesis Captain Hammer and Penny, a girl from the laundromat that he admires from a distance.
