Dr. Adele Burkhart, America's top nuclear physicist, is kidnapped by Cobra during a press conference after denouncing the military for misleading her to working on a doomsday project. The Joe Team is sent to rescue her and prevent Cobra from obtaining America's nuclear secrets. The Joes are broken into two groups: an insertion team and a heavy assault team. The insertion team sabotages Cobra's facilities and defenses to make way for the heavy assault team, which includes Hawk, Rock 'n Roll, Clutch, Grand Slam, Steeler and Zap. While the assault team fights through Cobra's armor, Stalker's team finds the village on the island and discovers its residents all killed. Stalker flies the person he believes to be Dr. Burkhart to safety, but it turns out to be a disguised Baroness who reveals Cobra's true plan. Cobra Commander had no intention of extracting information from Burkhart; she was a bait to lure the Joe Team into a trap. Snake-Eyes and Scarlett find themselves trapped in the same room as Cobra Commander, who holds Burkhart hostage. The Commander reveals that he and Burkhart will escape on a plane with a timer that will unlock and let them go, but Burkhart reveals the timer is a bomb. The Commander shoots Burkhart, but Scarlett hurls a throwing star into his hand. The Joes secure a helicopter and fly to safety with less than five minutes on the bomb's timer. In the ensuing chaos, both Cobra Commander and the Baroness escape. Despite rescuing the wrong person, the Joes were successful in preventing Cobra from obtaining America's nuclear secrets.
