An archery fanatic turns super- villain and arms himself with a large, cross-bow shaped aircraft that can fire huge trick arrows. He chooses the unfortunate alias of “The Shaft” and commits daring robberies. By investigating famous archers, they learn the identity of the Shaft and his location, a castle on Sea Island. They travel there on the Hawksub but think to bring one of their jets along on the sub. When the Shaft traps them with his flying crossbow, Blackhawk flies the jet by remote control and rams the villain's aircraft.

After Blackhawk breaks a mirror while fighting the Baron and his gang, he seems to have a streak of bad luck which is compounded by an encounter with a black cat.

The Hawks use their jets and the Safari-mobile to track the villain to his lair, an abandoned Legionnaire fort. They are captured but escape and take the fort which is soon under siege by the Desert Tiger and his tribesmen who are mounted on propeller driven sand sleds.
