Synopsis:
The Blackhawks are captured by the international criminal Barbarossa and the traitorous android G.E.O.R.G.E. agent Johnny Vak. The team is knocked unconscious, the mysteriously released. When they return to G.E.O.R.G.E. headquarters they each discover powerful explosive implanted into the skulls. Though Mr. Delta places them under arrest for going off on their own while suspended, the team escapes in order to prevent the explosives from hurting others.
The Blackhawks then track down Barbarossa again. This time their tactics prevail, and the criminal falls to his death. One of Barbarossa's men then reveals that he was secretly a G.E.O.R.G.E. agent and planted only dummy explosives in the Blackhawks' heads. Johnny Vak is also destroyed, but Mr. Delta reveals that he knew of the android's duplicity. He allowed the robot to continue in order to motivate the Blackhawks to victory.
