Mr. Justice, the Blackhawks' Ally: Chasing crooks to the city of Emeraldville, the Chuck, Andre and Stan encounter Mr. Justice, a local costumed crime fighter. Meanwhile, the other Blackhawks are captured by the crooks they were chasing, the Scavenger Gang. The trio of Black Knights and Mr. Justice locate the gang's hideout, but Chuck is suspicious. Sure enough, Mr. Justice is secretly the gang's leader. Like we didn't see this coming.

The Petrified Giant of Blackhawk Island: Zinda, Lady Blackhawk, is visiting the island when an earthquake releases a petrified giant, who immediately builds a giant raft and paddles away to a neighboring island. An ax in the crevasse identifies the giant's home island. There, the Blackhawks learns from a tribal elder that the giant was created from a brave warrior, Tarn, by a great witch doctor to defeat a tribe on another island, which is where the giant is heading now. The tribe's chief and warriors are on their way also, to take advantage of the Tarn's attack. The Blackhawks try to stop the tribes from fighting. The beautiful Zinda befriends the giant and convinces him that the tribes need to be at peace. Tarn steps between the tribes, tells them to live in peace and then dies.
