Synopsis:
The Blackhawks are faced by a group of crooks utilizing fantastic weapons in their crimes. When the gang strikes again, Blackhawk is in disguise nearby and using an anti-gravity gun on his comrades to stop them from getting near the crooks.

The gang brings Blackhawk to their hide-out, believing him to be a fellow criminal. Blackhawk is introduced to the gang’s leader, Mr. Mace, who is responsible for their devices. Mace orders Blackhawk to demonstrate the anti-gravity gun, but it fails to function. He goes to the workshop to fix it, but instead he summons the Blackhawks.

The team arrives in time to rescue Blackhawk and capture the gang. Blackhawk then explains that the anti-gravity gun was a fake engineered to get him into the gang.
