Synopsis:
The Blackhawks vow to protect young Prince Sigmund of Belgovia from danger before his coronation as king. The Prince is in danger because if he dies, Duke Adolph, a tyrant will come to power.

After a series of close calls, Blackhawk flies the prince to the coronation. However, the other Blackhawks learn that a radio was hidden inside the Prince’s dog’s collar which gives away their leader’s plane route. Blackhawk is shot down and captured by Adolph, but the Duke and his men are scared momentarily by shots fired from the Prince’s toy pistol. The delay gives the other Blackhawks time to arrive and stop the Duke.
