Synopsis:
Following a successful battle with some British planes, Enemy Aces leaves his squadron in the hands of three veteran pilots. One of them is then killed by the Hangman, who was thought to be dead. The Hangman survived his crash and found his way back to his sister Denise, who nursed him back to health.

Von Hammer learns that the French pilot is still alive. He is then forced to watch as the Hangman kills two more of his veteran squadron members. Finally, Enemy Ace engages the Hangman himself. His opponent has superior position, but Von Hammer leads him into some hanging wires, which cause the Frenchmen to crash.

Von Hammer makes an emergency landing in the woods. A wolf pack approach him, but he is protected from them by his hunting companion, a black wolf.
