It turns out that Reed Richards was playing with the stock market and lost all of their money. The Fantastic Four lose all of Reed’s amazing inventions, and the future of the team is in doubt. But then, fortune shines on the Four - they receive an offer to star in a movie for an incredible amount of money. The team readily packs up for Hollywood to shoot the film and earn enough money to return to the adventuring life. Once there, they find out that none other than Namor the Submariner, their kinda enemy, is financing the movie. They nonetheless continue with the project, with Namor hitting on Sue Storm while trying to incapacitate the other three.
