It's an all out space war as the Joes launch a shuttle to try and keep Cobra from destroying a recently upgraded spy satellite that detected Cobra activity (as well as protect the secret behind the Terror-Dromes), but fail when Fred (as the Commander) destroys the three satellites in orbit (including one of their own) after taking charge when the Baroness is knocked unconscious during the space battle. Meanwhile, Snake-Eyes, Scarlett, and the Blind Master join the White Clown's circus en route to Borovia as they continue their rescue plan for the three Joes in the gulag.
