Captain America is trapped in a room where the walls are slowly coming together, as the
Red Skull gloats above him. Cap manages to hurl his shield and destroy the control panel, escaping from the trap. He arrives at the central control room in time to see the Red Skull taking off in his jet craft. Quickly attaching a wire to his shield he manages to lasso the departing craft and hang on despite the Red Skull’s efforts to drown him by dragging him through the ocean. Cap manages to break a window and enter the ship just as the Red Skull uses his plastic bubble technology to capture and levitate Manhattan Island. Cap passes a gauntlet of defense weapons to reach the Skull and knocks down the Nazi villain. Enraged, the Red Skull threatens to drop the metropolis, sending millions to their deaths. Cap offers anything to prevent the disaster. The Red Skull demands that Captain America give his word to serve him for 24 hours. Cap agrees and the Skull returns the city unharmed to its location. As his first act of service to his evil master, Captain America allows himself to be broadcast over the world’s televisions pledging his allegiance to the Red Skull.
