Excalibur37th of 55 episodes in Sunbow season 1. Written by Dan Di Stefano. First aired November 1, 1985.Previous episode: Cobra Quake Next episode: Worlds Without End, Part 1 |
Off the British coast, Joes launch from the U.S.S. Flagg to defend a new radar system. During the battle, Storm Shadow is shot down and ditches in a lake where he recovers the famed sword Excalibur. A storm approaches as the Joes deliver the radar system to shore. Storm Shadow is spotted spying, and the Joes give chase, but the ninja gets away, capturing Footloose. The Joes dismiss the warnings of a local who believes the storms are the result of the theft of Excalibur. Meanwhile, Destro notices the power of Storm Shadow's new sword.
Cobra launches another attack as the Joes evacuate the town in anticipation of a dam burst. Destro attempts to kill Storm Shadow during the attack, but his shot goes astray, collapsing a building that falls on Mutt. Wild Bill's cavalry drive off Cobra, but Maj. Bludd launches a rocket during the retreat, causing the dam to burst; the radar system is destroyed. Spirit and Quick Kick infiltrate Cobra's castle, rescuing Footloose and using a spotlight to summon help. As Duke and Flint join the assault in front of the castle, Storm Shadow duels Quick Kick. Freedom snatches Excalibur from Storm Shadow's hands and returns it to the lake, and the sky clears. Lady Jaye leads the rest of the Joes to secure a victory.
