Show Summary: Johnny at the helm of “Liberty One”, and Raylene armed with her “Ray of Truth” travel far across the galactic sea of statism in search of the Austro-Libertarian himself C. Jay Engel! Alone on a desolate world of socialism and communism, the Austro-Libertarian C.Jay Engel stands alone and does what he can to fend off evil.
