Synopsis:
While being pursued by the Blackhawks, a criminal pilot, Mysto, uncovers the entrance to a hidden cave. Inside the cave, Mysto finds a gem which animates two giant statues. He orders the giants to attack the Blackhawks and imprison them in the cave. He then searches from the workshop of Ka-Ru, the inventor of the gem.

The Blackhawks escape the cave and split up. One group lures the giants away, while the other team tackles Mysto. Mysto, having found more of Ka-Ru’s inventions continues to attack the Blackhawks. Using one of Ka-Ru’s inventions himself, Blackhawk is able to destroy the gem and knock out Mysto. With the gem destroyed, the giants turn to dust, and the team disposes of the other evil inventions.
