Spacehawk’s Robots

When a mystery plane Spacehawk is tracking over Greenland disappears off his radar, he lands and sets out on skis to investigate. Spacehawk comes upon a cabin and greets Vogel, just as a pilot appears from a hatch in the floor. Vogel runs Spacehawk off and attempts to shoot him in the back, but misses. Spacehawk spies on Vogel as he heads a meeting of aviators, and gives orders to attack U.S. industrial plants. Spacehawk confronts Vogel after the meeting, but leaves to stop the bombing mission. With the help of his robots, Spacehawk casts a net of cables dangling from “anti-gravity units” in the bombers’ paths. The bombers are destroyed midair. In their final encounter, Spacehawk hits Vogel so hard he dies as he tumbles off a cliff.
