| Long Summary
Crimson Guardsman "Fred Broca" is keeping watch on
Fort Wadsworth from his house. Just before a convoy of
Joe vehicles enter his field of vision, he receives a
phone call from Cobra Commander, and he misses
everything. He is told by the Commander to expect a
couple of guests at his home. From McGuire Field,
Snake-Eyes is being flown by Wild Bill and Ace out to
his log cabin in the High Sierra Mountains. Zartan,
snooping around the field, managed to bug the plane.
He calls Cobra Commander and offers him the
transmission frequency of the homing device he
planted.
Later over the Sierras, Snake-Eyes parachutes from the
cargo plane, and Hawk orders Airborne and Spirit
Iron-Knife, two Native Americans, keep watch on
Snake-Eyes from a distance. Meanwhile, Destro and
Firefly have arrived at Fred Broca's house. There
they receive orders from Cobra Commander to head out
to the High Sierras. Snake-Eyes is out playing catch
with his pet wolf, when Spirit realizes that
Snake-Eyes saw him, ten miles away, hidden in the
thick branches of a tree. Destro and Firefly discover
from locals where Snake-Eyes' cabin is, and drive up
to it.
In Springfield, Major Bludd and the Baroness inform
Billy of their plan to assassinate Cobra Commander.
He is to carry a bouquet of flowers up to the
Commander, saying a silly poem written by the Major.
He is then to pull a pistol out of the bouquet and
shoot the Commander at point-blank range.
Destro and Firefly arrive at the log cabin, and when
Snake-Eyes steps out, they open fire on him. Airborne
and Spirit hear the gun-shots, and run to the cabin.
Destro fires a wrist-rocket at the cabin, taking out
the door. Snake-Eyes fights back, destroying the
Cobra's car. Firefly tosses a grenade through a
window, and before Snake-Eyes can get rid of it, it
explodes, seriously hurting the Joe. Spirit
Iron-Knife and Airborne arrive at the scene and pin
down the Cobras. Destro manages to get into the
cabin, and aims his pistol at Snake-Eyes, who is lying
on the floor. Before he can pull the trigger, the
wolf jumps him. Fred Broca wounds Airborne, but as he
falls, Airborne wounds Firefly. Spirit Iron-Knife
takes out Broca, but Firefly manages to drop a satchel
charge into the cabin's chimney. Destro sees the
charge fall in, and knocks the wolf away. He then
runs out. As he and Spirit shoot it out, the charge
explodes, obliterating the cabin. At the end, only a
wolf is standing in front of the flaming wreck.
