Synopsis:
Having completed their mission in a foreign land, the Blackhawks make their escape across the border with the aid of the giant twins Romulus and Rufo. Once they reach safety the team parts ways with the giants and returns to their headquarters. As soon as they arrive another urgent mission forces them into action once again.

The Blackhawks fly to the lab of Dr. Manton, an important government scientist. Manton claims to have been turned into a mutant by one of his experiments, but Blackhawk realizes that the man is a spy. The Blackhawks are defeated one-by-one, until only Blackhawk himself remains. However, Chop Chop comes to the rescue with the real Dr. Manton and his giant bird. The spy is defeated, then Manton helps the Blackhawks with their injuries.
