Synopsis:
Enemy Ace is attacked by three French planes. Since they can outrun him, he lands and plays dead. When they land behind him, he takes off again and shoots them on the ground. After taking out one more plane, Von Hammer limps back to base, low on fuel. He walks away from a crash landing, then joins his wolf friend hunting.

When Von Hammer is ready to fly again, he meets two other pilots who have just been released from the hospital. They fear flying again, but Von Hammer orders them into the air. Both men are killed by their fear as one crashes and the other is shot down.

Enemy Ace is then shot down by a French pilot called the One-Eyed Cat. Von Hammer survives the crash and is sent to the hospital. When he is released, he takes to the sky despite his fear. He meets the One-Eyed Cat again. This time Von Hammer changes his tactics and defeats the Frenchman.
