Hawk, Roadblock, and Skidmark are military advisors to General Leiderkranz in Wolekuckuckland, who has just recently bought some surplus Joe vehicles from the U.S., while Snake-Eyes, Scarlett, Flint, and Lady Jaye are undercover trying to figure out who's smuggling weapons across the border from Darklonia (home to Destro's half-brother Darklon) to Wolekuckuckland. Meanwhile, Mindbender tries to sell the idea of selling to Darklon vehicles (from Joe and Cobra surpluses) that are invisible to radar and infrared aka the 'Pythonizing' process alongside Destro, the Baroness, and Fred, which succeeds when they do a trial run across the border and attack the General's forces (although it was only successful because Wolfgang was bribed to turn off the radar system for a few minutes). The attack is repulsed, and Fred, Baroness, and Mindbender are forced to walk back into a nearby village to get home, while Destro and Darklon are safe back in Darklonia.
