Synopsis
Elite mercenary Crusher Joe tackles any galactic problem for a hefty fee when the Space Force can't.
The galaxy is a strange and dangerous place, and there are times when even the United Space Force can`t help. That`s where the Crushers come in - skilled troubleshooters who will deal with any problem, large or small, for a fee (large only!) And there is no better Crusher than Crusher Joe! (Source: AniDB)
