Storyline

The Joes figure out that Springfield is a Cobra base and attack in force, only to be repelled by Destro and his men, while the Baroness and the Commander attempt to inject a Cobra agent with Venom's toxin, only to see it fail because it's missing the final catalyst needed to keep it in check. Meanwhile, Snake-eyes, Kwinn and Venom escape from their watery trap only to be captured by Cobra agents.
