This collection of newspaper comic strips form the February - July 1940 continuity. In the previous episode Pat Ryan and April Kane took refuge in the compound of arms smuggler Cap'n Blaze, whose embittered daughter wove a network of intrigue around them. Cheery Blaze plans to betray them all to local warlord Singh Singh but it's cross and double cross when "invader" troops (it was then politically incorrect to refer directly to the Japanese invasion of China) appear. Heiress and humanitarian aid worker Raven Sherman is introduced, only to become a target of the beautiful and mysterious Hu Shee. Dude Hennick, pilot and old friend of Pat's, is manipulated in helping Terry and the gang pursue the two women.

Episode 11 of this classic comic strip is another highly enjoyable adventure with superb plotting, amusing characterization, and excellent art. Milton Caniff, the most influential artist of the comic strip, is at the top of his form. Highly recommended!
