Having slipped away from the Torch, Blackjack radios his base to have bombers attack the ship. Before the Torch can destroy all of them, one shoots Toro in the shoulder. The Torch gets Toro to a hospital and continues his search for Blackjack and his gang, capturing all but two of them. Hearing this, Toro asks Jimmy to find information on their location. Jimmy finds out that one of them will be at a game so Toro sneaks out of the hospital to be there. Finding Davis, Toro keeps him occupied until the Torch arrives. Sending Toro back to the hospital, he gets Davis to reveal where Blackjack is.
