Synopsis:
The Blackhawks follow the trail of a smuggling ring to the African desert. During some down time, the team visits a fortune teller, El Kazar, who makes several wild predictions.

When El Kazar's claims prove themselves true, Blackhawk returns to the fortune teller to hear his own fate. El Kazar tells Blackhawk that he is in danger and must avoid the harbor. The fortune teller then sells the information to the smugglers. However, Blackie has stayed behind with a radio transmitter, allowing the Blackhawks to learn about El Kazar's treachery. The team then captures the smugglers at the harbor.
