Synopsis:
The Blackhawks try to complete a trade with an international criminal known as the Leopard. However, the Leopard's agent Rufo, an invulnerable giant takes off with the missile locator system that the Blackhawks want. The device is hidden inside a coffin, but the giant successfully escapes with it.

With the help of Rufo's twin brother Romulus, the Blackhawks track the thief through enemy territory. They find that Rufo has been captured by local authorities, so the team goes undercover to break him out. When they successfully free the giant, they learn that the coffin was lost prior to his capture.

The Blackhawks then join a traveling circus in disguise to look for the coffin. The Leopard has found it first and makes the trade with the Blackhawks for a force field device. The Blackhawks are being hunted by local police and barely escape without capture.

The missile locator is delivered to Lubov the circus owner and secret agent. When the Leopard activates the force field he triggers a booby trap which apparently kills him. Then the Blackhawks make their escape from hostile territory.
