The Young Allies stow away on a troop transport bound for India to fight the Japs. Once they arrive, they encounter an Indian magician Tehru, who uses mirrors to create illusions in order to sway Indians to fight for the Axis. The kids use their powers to sway the Indians, and Tehru is brought before the Japanese in disgrace. He begs for one more chance and plans to use his mirrors to give the illusion that the Japanese troops are not attacking from where they seem to be, however the kids doctor his mirrors so the illusion fails and the Japanese are defeated by the Allied troops. Tehru runs off into the jungle to escape and meets his doom at the bottom of a spiked Leopard pit trap.
