Synopsis:
The Blackhawks are captured by martians and taken to an orbiting planetoid where the aliens are staging their attack on Earth. The martians intend to use Blackhawk Island as their base for the attack. While imprisoned on the planetoid, the Blackhawk meet a friendly martian who releases them. He explains that the invaders are renegades led by General Tang. Using martian weapons, the Blackhawks thwart the invasion and return to Earth. The martian renegades are then sent back to their planet.
