In "The Spoiler," the Road Knights motorcycle gang engage in reckless racing and dangerous driving that endangers others. When a yellow sports car and blue race car collide during a high-speed encounter with the bikers, Clint Curtis, the spoiler character known for his careless attitude, becomes entangled in the aftermath. After the Road Knights are caught by police and arrested for speeding in a known speed trap, Clint attempts to blame Curtis for the crash, but Curtis retaliates by revealing that Flaky, one of the bikers, actually caused the accident on Flaky's borrowed motorcycle, forcing Clint to accept responsibility instead.
