D-Day at Alcatraz, Part 115th of 19 episodes in DiC season 1. Written by David B. Carren and J. Larry Carroll. First aired November 5, 1990.Previous episode: An Officer and a Viperman Next episode: D-Day at Alcatraz, Part 2 |
Tipped off by an informant, Skydive leads a large Joe force in Lappland in search of a Cobra base. They are ambushed, but Cobra throws the battle and surrenders, including Cobra Commander and Destro. They are imprisoned in Alcatraz under the care of Warden Dandridge, but their goal is to escape and steal a nearby experimental submarine, the Comstock Lode. Meanwhile, Metal-Head is haunted by "The Ghost of Alcatraz."
Suspicious of Cobra's intentions, Pathfinder convinces Skydive to visit his informant, who turns out to be the Baroness in disguise. Grid-Iron is still not convinced Cobra was captured on purpose and orders Pathfinder to drop the issue. The Baroness attacks Alcatraz the next day, allowing Cobra to take over the prison, but Pathfinder sneaks onto the prison island a short time later. He is captured almost immediately, and Destro sends the Joes an all-clear in Pathfinder's voice. Cobra then attacks the Joes and hijacks the Comstock Lode, using its anti-electricity PM weapon to disable the Joes' vehicles.
