- Zartan sets a bomb to detonate a Cobra target, but may himself become its victim!
Plot[]
The Dreadnoks.
Starting out in the jungle somewhere, the Dreadnoks Ripper, Buzzer, and Torch, along with the ninja Storm Shadow, are training new recruits.
Torch teaches about how to set the foundation of a building on fire while Ripper teaches about how to use tracer ammo and Buzzer teaches about plastic explosives. Then Storm Shadow is trying to teach three men how to be ninjas. Then when the three Dreadnoks show off by destroying a tank Storm Shadow shows them what he alone can do to a tank.
Three trainees bow to Storm Shadow.
At the top of the temple hideout, we see Destro talking to Cobra Commander about comparing the Dreadnoks to Storm Shadow, but when they get inside we see Cobra Commander inside and it turns out that the Cobra Commander who was talking with Destro is really Zartan dressed up to look like Cobra Commander.
Cobra Commander, Destro, and Zartan are talking about a peace group that is getting together planning to have all their info put together to make it harder on Cobra to be able to win. They learn that all that is left is for the French representative Doctor Emil Mettier is the only one that has not arrived.
The Dreadnoks go out and capture the doctor, and Zartan takes his place with a mask on to look just like the doctor.
Zartan in disguise confronts Destro.
When at the special meeting building, Zartan, with the help of Storm Shadow, plants a bomb, but Spirit and his eagle Freedom discover it. The other joes, Lady Jaye, Stalker, Gung Ho, and Doc, all arrive to help. They are able to capture Zartan, and after he gives in and tells them where the bomb is they get to it with two minutes time remaining and are able to defuse it.
Zartan then does a trick and tries to get away, and at that same time Sprit and the real Doctor Emil Mettier escape from the Cobra hideout and are able to stop Cobra from destroying the building that has all the info on how to stop them. Then after all the fighting is over, doctor Emil Mettier hears that Gung Ho is going to make some Cajun gumbo and wants to try some, but all the other Joes do not want it and Spirit even offers his share of the gumbo to Freedom.
