Synopsis
Captain America rushes onto a
NATO base and explains the situation to the commanding general, as the first two
Sleepers continue to cut a deadly path across the countryside. The Army launches a full-scale attack against the
Nazi robots but they are unable to stop them. The last agent awakens the
third Sleeper—a giant metal head that resembles the
Red Skull himself—and it joins its two compatriots, anchoring itself to the top as a guidance system. Cap speculates that the purpose of the Sleepers is to destroy the world by igniting a chain reaction at the Arctic which would tear apart the Earth’s core. Cap, armed with a flamethrower, leaps from a plane onto the Sleepers below and sets up the weapon at an angle that causes the Sleepers, now over the sea, to explode. Cap parachutes to safety, having won a great victory for freedom.
