Synopsis:
The Seven Soldiers of Victory are forced to perform in a charity event, when the event organizer announces they will appear without first consulting them. When the Soldiers question the organizer, he reveals himself as an emissary of the Wizard of Wisstark, a faraway land of magic. The emissary then brings the Soldiers to the Wizard, who begs them to help defend Wisstark from the tyranny of Stanovia.

The Soldiers agree to help. Star-Spangled Kid and Stripesy attempt to recruit a race of giants to defend Wisstark. They fail to persuade the giants, but they capture the giants on film. Green Arrow and Speedy travel to Stanovia to scout the opposition. The Crimson Avenger and Wing prevent the theft of a powerful airship by invisible agents of Stanovia. The Vigilante protects the Wizard from an imposter. The Shining Knight then raises an army to fight for Wisstark.

When the army is prepared, the Soldiers lead the forces of Wisstark into battle. The Wizards of Stanovia use their illusions to demoralize Wisstark's forces. The Soldiers rally the troops and defeat the Stanovian army and wizards. Once peace is restored, the Soldiers prepare to return home.
