He catches them trying to rob a bank and quickly stops them, putting Frosty into the hospital.

A man named Miguel Miranda takes their planes for the war, and the Aces have to figure out a way to get them back.; In the jungle, Congo Bill's safari comes across a white man being buried alive by a native and attempts to stop him, only to be informed that he's just ruined a shot in an adventure film.
