Synopsis for "The Crack in the World Conspiracy"

Jonny Double uses the glass shards of his wrist watch to cut the ropes binding him to the Golden Gate Bridge. He engages Kobra, knocks off his wrist blaster, and is flung with him over the bridge! Kobra uses his teleportation ray to safely get back to the Ark. Double climbs back on the Bridge and retrieves Kobra's wrist blaster to stop the earthquake-causing mechanism. Meanwhile, all the passengers on Jason Burr's plane – which is crashing in Oregon – disappear! Kobra appears on the plane and tosses an envelope to Burr containing a lock of Melissa's hair. Kobra advises Burr he shall not make it to his meeting with Double in San Francisco. But Randu Singh DOES make it to Double's office. They discuss their missing friend and meet Professor Ross Emerson – electronics expert – who examines Kobra's wrist blaster. Disguised as Kobra henchmen, Double and Singh return to Kobra's computer bank he visited in the previous issue to discover why Kobra forced the earthquake. Kobra catches them mid-hack and engulfs the room with poison gas as Kobra's goons invade to finish them off. With the help of the wrist blaster, Double kills the Kobra agents allowing Singh to retrieve computer tapes. They escape out the window. Jason Burr lies unconscious in the airplane – which, to the amazement of the two pilots, landed safely on an Oregon lake. Double and Singh discover Kobra's plan – using the earthquake to damage global communications cable. Disguised as repairmen, Kobra's men will "repair" the cables and plant a "bug" – effectively tapping the entire world! The find and board Kobra's Ark, hidden in the Bay. Kobra blinds Singh and engages Double. Double shoots at Kobra with the wrist blaster – who was aghast that Double had his weapon. His one error in calculation … Double shoots and shoots at the Ark, finally causing it to explode in mid-air! Singh cries out – with Kobra dead, so is Jason Burr! The Coast Guard investigate the explosion and then report that the telephone company will repair the cables near the explosion tomorrow. One of the officer's hand-held radios is marked with a cobra-symbol. To be continued!
