Synopsis:
The Blackhawks are attacked by two large green creatures on Blackhawk Island. One of the creatures saves the pilots from the other beast during one such attack. The protecting beast is knocked unconscious, then it changes into the form of an alien man.

When he recovers, the alien explains that the other creature is his brother. They are exiles from their home world, changed by a sorcerer’s curse. They have been stealing equipment from the Blackhawks to repair their rocket ship. The Blackhawks help the alien stop his brother, who soon reverts to normal form as well, and with the pilots’ help, the aliens return home aboard their ship.
