Synopsis:
King Faraday is recruited by the government to rescue a scientist held in a foreign prisoner called Hangman's House. King is dropped behind enemy lines and proceeds to start a fight with some foreign soldiers. They lock him in the prison where he tricks a guard and gets free. He locates the scientist, then hypnotizes the guard into believing they are both dead. The guard throws their bodies into the water outside the prison. King revives and saves the professor. They escape pursuit and meet with King's contact for extraction.
