The Torch is asked help when criminals start disappearing. The Torch comes up with a plan for Toro to turn to crime in an effort to be contacted by the people behind the disappearances. However, they see through Toro's act and capture him. The Torch tracks them to a ship at sea only to be captured before he can rescue Toro but Toro rescues the Torch, instead. Just as he is about to capture Blackjack, the leader uses a smoke bomb to slip away.
