In Paris, 1941, Captain America challenges the Red Skull, who is holding Bucky Barnes hostage and threatening to destroy the city. The Living Legend ramps his motorcycle up the Eiffel Tower and rams his fist into the Skull’s face atop his dirigible….

Back at the Louvre, the Howling Commandos and the French Resistance team are the captives of Baron Strucker and the Nazis. They have been betrayed by one of their own, Olivier Batroc; when the traitor learns that the city will still be destroyed he assaults Strucker and is shot down. That is the signal for the Americans and French to turn on their enemies and overpower them….
