Jupiter considers who he can send to save the world from Pluto's machinations, and settles on his son Mercury. After declaring his intentions to Pluto (who is masquerading as Rudolph Hendler, leader of Prussialand), Mercury blocks torpedoes, intercepts marching orders and evades the traps of Hendler's lackeys as he brings the course of war to a halt.
