Summary: The Dreadnok named Road Pig gets into a fight at a New Jersey bar called the Hold It Inn after the customers make fun of him and Donald, the more refined second half of his split personality. He is interrupted by a television news report detailing the arrest of Zarana and Zanzibar by the New Jersey State Police. He rushes off on his motorcycle to rescue Zarana, his “long lost love.” He later fights his way through state police officers led by Captain Cohoe and G.I. Joe team member Law. After Road Pig frees both Zarana and Zanzibar, the trio escapes on Zanzibar’s air skiff.

A squadron of helicopters led by Dr. Mindbender and Zartan lift off from Cobra Island on their way to attack Pit III in Utah, using the intelligence gathered by the Star-Viper before he was killed. Mindbender’s scrambled radio messages detailing the mission are overheard by Captain Minh, who is fishing in the Gulf of Mexico aboard his Cobra hydrofoil, complete with a radio descrambler that receives Cobra transmissions. After docking in Galveston, Minh calls the Pentagon and reports Cobra’s plans. Once the message is relayed to G.I. Joe, Hawk orders the Joes to move the Quonset huts covering the Pit’s entrance one mile across the desert. When Cobra arrives, a furious Mindbender finds nothing but sand and rock beneath the huts. The Cobras are forced to leave empty-handed, unaware that the trap door leading to the Pit is now a mile away.

At the Presidio, a woman walks into Jinx’s office and pulls a gun on her, demanding to see her son, Billy.
