Synopsis:
Enemy Ace watches as several of his pilots are shot down by the Hangman while they are returning to base. He takes to the sky and engages the Hangman personally. Using a dangerous manuever of flying under a bridge, Von Hammer is able to gain position against his opponent. He then shoots down the Hangman. Von Hammer returns home with some regrets for Denise, the Hangman's sister.

Later one of his pilots reports a new enemy pilot that is shooting down members of Von Hammer's squadron. The new foe is known as the Harpy. Enemy Ace discovers that the Harpy is Denise, who is out for revenge.

When they meet in the skies, Enemy Ace refuses to fire upon the Harpy's plane because she is a woman. She forces him to the ground, then condemns him with a slap before taking to the air again. He avoids her guns until she runs out of ammunition. She then tries to collide in mid-air. He plane is damaged, but Enemy Ace uses his own plane to stabilize hers and guide her to the ground alive. The Harpy vows to return to claim her vengeance.
