Johnny is ambushed by a night fighter... The Nazi rival is Wolf Fang. As a boy on the reservation, his father was challenged by Wolf Fang's father, who died in the bout. Wolf Fang swore to carry on the fight... Wolf Fang joined the "enemy's air force" to get revenge. They clash in the air, drop messages and challenges, finally wreck their planes and ditch in the water. Still, Johnny tries to save Wolf Fang, who shoots down a swooping German fighter to keep it away - and is crushed as it falls. "An old 'friend' fired his last shot, on the right side, at last."
