Sky-Wolf and Sidney “Gaff” Levine have made it into the
Nazis’ Murder Mountain to rescue Matt Slade III but he doesn’t believe they are
allies but some sort of enemy trick When they have convinced him by describing
his father, Slade insists on taking Gretchen Skul, the Nazi commander’s
daughter who has joined his side. Seeing their Flapjack planes in enemy hands,
the guys fight their way through, being rescued by their partner Jesse “Little
John” Johns whom they thought dead. The heroes make it safely away but General
Skul gives orders to let them go as he knows a secret….
The Sky-Wolves reach Lobo One and land aboard the ship; Matt
is welcomed home by his father. Late that night, Sky-Wolf catches Gretchen in
the act of photographing the plans for the Flapjacks. At this time, Murder Mountain,
revealed to be a large construct on tank treads, starts its deadly journey
across the European continent. The Sky-Wolves are dispatched to destroy it,
four craft with Matt III joining the team. The mountain contains anti-aircraft
ordnance leading to a battle. Back at the ship, Gretchen escapes custody and
seizes a fifth Flapjack to return to the mainland. At the battle, Gaff triggers
a device which projects the images of hundreds of Flapjack planes in the sky.
In the confusion, General Skul gives orders to shoot down the only plane that
is easy to detect, unaware his daughter is the pilot. The Sky-Wolves fly into
the hollow mountain, causing destruction and Matt Slade guns down Skul before
they blow up the mountain....
The Sky-Wolves return to the Lobo where Matt Slade Jr.
suggests they stay together as a team, ready to fight for democracy when the
USA formally enters the war….

Synopsis: Bounding
through a wilderness area, a thirsty Hulk stops to
drink from a pond; he soon becomes ill, only then seeing the sign warning of
contamination. The Hulk passes out, complaining about how humans ruin
everything. When he awakes he finds a baby deer caught in a trap; as he tries
to release it, he is accidentally shot by hunters aiming at the doe. Enraged at
the human race’s penchant for destruction, he hurls a rock after the fleeing
hunters. The Hulk then tries to stop two rams from fighting but is not able to
prevent the death of one. He then notices how animals live, like humans, preying
on the other species for food.
A forest fire has broken out as the result of a
cigarette dropped by a panicked hunter, and the Hulk tries to rescue a bear
from the blaze. The bear interprets the Hulk’s actions as an attack and turns
on him, forcing the Hulk to kill it. Trying to leave the area, the Hulk falls
into a tar pit and sinks. Two loggers, seeing the Hulk in trouble, surprise
Jade Jaws by toppling a tree so he can pull himself out. Musing on the
experience, the Hulk realizes all beings do good things and bad things,
misunderstanding one another, even the Hulk. Too much thinking tires the Hulk
out, though, and he goes to sleep.
