Synopsis:
A volcanic eruption in the ocean causes a new island to form. Both the United States and the Soviets want to claim the island as their territory. To prevent a war, each side agrees to an individual duel to take place on the island. During the training exercise to select a champion, Jimmy Olsen is able to prove himself using his wits. He is selected to be the duel participant against Bors from the Soviet Union.
Jimmy and Bors are dropped off on the island withe the same supplies and weapons. The winner is the one who kills or captures the other. Jimmy survives several attacks and uses his wits to escape various traps. Jimmy and Bors develop respect for one another. Then they fight it out with dynamite. Neither is willing to kill the other, and the detonation of the dynamite sinks the island permanently, which ends the dispute.
