The Lady Or The Tiger...Or The Whizzer?

Nutty scientist Dr. Krool is one of those evil, unethical type of guys...

Well, he kidnaps a girl and invites her fiance to rescue her by successfully navigating his "death maze."

Fortunately, the Whizzer is there to help...with the impassable treadmill...

...or the tar floor...

...or the floor full of mines...

...or the room you have to run one million laps around...

...or the giant hamster wheel...

Geez, Doc, it's like you designed each of your death traps to be thwared beaten by a super-speed character!!
