"Blackhawk Battles the Invaders from the Moon" features the military aviation team defending Earth against lunar invaders. "Dog Tag" follows a soldier at a laundry who takes a job and encounters a "Man Wanted" situation.

The Blackhawks encounter an extraordinary threat when they investigate a rocket launch by Professor Amok in ancient China, only to discover that his message to the moon has brought back visitors far more sinister than he imagined. When strange, otherworldly beings attack a nearby village with advanced weaponry, the flying knights must uncover the truth behind these invaders from the moon before Professor Amok's dream of cosmic contact becomes humanity's nightmare. Racing against time to locate the alien rocket ship hidden somewhere on Earth, the Blackhawks face an enemy unlike any they've battled before.
In "The Manilayo Gig," Torchy lands a modeling gig at an advertising agency, where she catches the eye of famed explorer Rupert Groggins—only to be mistaken for his long-lost love, the elusive Manilayo, and whisked away on a wild chase. When the publicity of her disappearance draws out the real Manilayo, chaos and comedy unfold in equal measure.
In "The Unwanted Rescue," Choo Choo spots a man shouting from the water and dives in to save him—only to find he’s not in distress, but performing a scene for a film. Her well-intentioned intervention disrupts the shoot, leaving her confused and the director furious. The story unfolds with a mix of humor and tension as Choo Choo grapples with the unexpected consequences of her heroism.
Will Bragg claims a magic crystal can predict the future, but a series of mix-ups—wrong packages, misdelivered items, and confused expectations—soon put his supernatural powers to the test. When a chandelier crashes down on him, Will's friends debate whether he's truly gifted or just a lucky con man caught in the chaos of his own tall tales.
