Synopsis:
The Challengers find June’s plane crashed in the desert. They split up to look for her with Rocky and Red finding her first. June stumbles into a mirage world whose gates open when a gong sounds. Rocky and Red follow her inside and are captured by some of the residents there.

A duel is held between two knights with June as the prize. The captured Challs are released by a maiden. They find June and flee. Ace and Prof have also come through the gate and are reunited with their teammates. However, the exit is blocked by Sir Manson’s men.

Red challenges the knight to a duel. If the Challs win they will be set free. During the duel, another knight, Sir Rodfold takes June and sets out for the outside world. The duel is ended and the Challs pursue the villainous knight. They stop him in time and escape the city with June before it vanishes for the final time.
