Original material[]
Moroccan Roll![]
Dusty, Lady Jaye and Alpine have arrived in Casablanca, capital of Morocco, to meet with Farouk, a Cobra defector in the marketplace. But just as he arrives a snake-charmer raises his pipe and blows a dart that hits Farouk in the neck. Dusty and Alpine pursue the assassin whilst Lady Jaye checks Farouk,who tells her the dart was tipped with Cobra venom but he has time to tell her what he knows. Meanwhile the assassin grabs a horse so Dusty and Alpine race to the A.W.E. Striker, only to find the tyres have been stolen. Instead they take a couple of horse and pursue the assassin down an ally way, only to find they are ambushed by two more operatives. They soon overcome and capture all three but the assassins declare they would rather die than betray Cobra and take venom capsules. Lady Jaye arrives and tells her comrades that before he died Farouk told her Cobra have taken over the Argent Corporation oil rig in the North Sea and intend to destroy it with all on board!
