Well this aged well. The Titans are watching a Sammy Soul concert when the singer has a breakdown on stage. Seems the young man is torn between his money-grubbing aunt and his equally greedy manager. The only family who cared for him was an uncle. Pity the fellow went looking for El Dorado and vanished. 

So naturally the Titans go off looking and deal with hostile jungle natives. Yeah, just a dumb story all around.
