The Torpedo and Black Shark are in mortal combat at Satan's Island, where Shark had allied himself with a Mongolese admiral who forced them to fight to the death. The Torpedo wins and insists that he be allowed to spare Shark's life and take him prisoner. However, his arch enemy is ungrateful, and, once free, tries to bomb the Red Torpedo.
