Seven Soldiers of Victory: "The Miracles That Money Couldn't Buy"

Murderer Porky Johnson escapes from jail when a plane sent by the mysterious Skull bombs the prison and lowers a rope ladder for him to grab as it makes a final pass. He's only one of several criminals put away by the Seven Soldiers of Victory whose escape from prison was arranged by the Skull. This menacing character turns out to be a wealthy man who wants to be the owner of some extravagant things even his wealth can't bring him, and he's happy to resort to illicit means to get them. Each of the five escaped cons is assigned the task of recovering some exotic item for the Skull's pleasure.
