Synopsis:
While the Blackhawks try to escape from Johannes Van Der Houten, Blackhawk learns the real identity of his client Leslie Richardson. He is really Steve Claiborne, an agent of the Central Intelligence Group. His "wife" Alice is actually his sister, Marcia Rossiter. They have been sent to Sumatra to retrieve a Japanese microwave generator.

Meanwhile, the nearby volcano is about to erupt. Van Der Houten gives the order to kill the prisoners and evacuate. Then one of his men calls in to report that he has found the Japanese plane.
