When the Blackhawks learn that the Marlin is organizing the smaller gangs in an attempt to eliminate the team, Blackhawk disguises himself as a crook called the Cobra. Blackhawk infiltrates the gang and leads them to a mock Blackhawk Island. He then helps them eliminate the Blackhawks. However, Blackhawk has only tricked the crooks in order to lure them to the island. The crooks bring all their weapons and equipment too. Once the crooks are all on the island, Blackhawk reveals himself, and the other Blackhawks move in to capture the Marlin and his cohorts.
