Synopsis:
The Blackhawks are assigned to protect a scientist from danger while escorting him to a secure installation. A mercenary known as the Sniper captures the professor and forces the Blackhawks to surrender. He then makes the Blackhawks into human clay pigeons in order to force the professor to give up his secret formulas. However, the professor bluffs the Sniper with a fake bomb, allowing the Blackhawks to escape and defeat their adversary.
