Synopsis:
After rescuing Ione Craig from a cult of assassins, Hawkman is forced to land in the desert. When he leaves Ione to scout the nearby area, she is captured by the slavers of Sheik Abdullah. Hawkman tries to rescue Ione, but is instead captured too.
Sheba, the queen of the desert, claims Hawkman from Abdullah. Hawkman escapes from Sheba and meets soldiers outside of the city. In Abdullah's dungeons, Hawkman met Major Brent, an army leader. With the help of the soldiers, Hawkman raids the city and rescues Ione and Brent. Sheba however escapes capture.
