Synopsis
| - The Blackhawks are in pursuit of a leather briefcase... a briefcase that contains a priceless, pre-determined plan of human existence which will be disrupted upon its disclosure, and which affects the outcome of World War II. In fact, the two billion years of evolution are but a chapter in the gigantic plan!
Xanukhara herself is yet another slinky gorgeous femme fatale, as is her henchgirl Zara.
- In California, Wild Bill Dunn's submersible, shell-proof, flying tank the Blue Tracer must fend off its Japanese military giant-robot counterpart, The Thing, which thanks to its magnetic defenses is equally impervious to harm, that is, until Boomerang Jones discovers its Achilles Heel: the human operator!
- When Del gets gas-bombed in his own plane, while flying a rescue mission, he hallucinates about his fallen comrades: King Hotintot, Gramps, and Hank, in which their voices guide him thru the rescue and then home safely. When he regains his senses, he discovers that the three believed-dead partners are still alive after having been nursed back to health.
