Synopsis:
The crime leader known as the Barracuda decides to collect trophies of objects used in famous crimes. Before he begins, the Seven Soldiers of Victory barge into his hide-out to arrest him. The Barracuda escapes, but the Soldiers recover his notes indicating which objects he is after.

The Soldier split up to look for the objects. Each one is successful in preventing the Barracuda's men from retrieving his item. However, the Soldiers are still unable to find the Barracuda. To smoke him out, they place the objects in a museum. The Barracuda then tries to steal them, but the Soldiers are waiting to capture him. Despite planning for a possible trap, the crook is still captured.
