Synopsis:
The Blackhawks agree to film a movie that recreates some of their past exploits. When performing the stunts, they discover that someone on the set is trying to kill them. The producer wants to call off the film, but Blackhawk urges him to continue in order to smoke out the attempted assassin. When the assassin and his hirelings strike again, the Blackhawks outwit and capture them. The crook is revealed as Carlo Vesalius, a shipping magnate, who feared Blackhawk would shut down his illegal smuggling operations.
