Synopsis:
Green Arrow and Speedy travel to the desert to test some new arrows. Their plane is forced down with engine trouble. In the desert, they encounter four soldiers searching for some escaped prisoners. The men have lost their weapons and water, so G.A. gives them bows and arrows and offers his assistance.

Green Arrow trains the men how to shoot with a bow and also in the use of trick arrows. The cons are holed up in a ghost town disguised as indians. The "Arrow Platoon" takes on the crooks, while being shot at by guns. The trick arrows of Green Arrow allow the squad to stop the crooks and capture them.
