Synopsis:
The Blackhawks infiltrate enemy territory to abduct a foreign king from Nazi custody. The king resists the Blackhawks, but despite his protests the team takes him back to his home country. Once home, the king has the team arrested. Soon, Nazi soldiers arrive to take the king back to Berlin. The Blackhawks escape from jail and stop them. The king apologizes for mistrusting the Blackhawks, explaining that the Nazis tricked him into believing the Allies wanted him dead. With the king's return, the country pledges aid to defeating the Axis powers.
