Synopsis for "Assassin of a Thousand Claws"

We learn more about Kung, he and his sister are American citizens, but Kung feels that the country betrayed them and killed his father. He went back to Japan and mastered the so-called samurai teachings. He became the best fighter, so when WWII started he was sent back by the masters to do their bidding. His sister is less fanatical, and tries to stop Kung, but he is determined to fulfill his orders and kill MacArthur, who is attending a warship inauguration. Kung, in the form of an enraged rhino, explodes onto the scene, while Sandman and his sidekick, Sandy tries to stop him, with not much luck. His undoing is his sister, as she gets almost crushed when the rhino knocks over the giant ship, but he saves her, and gets crushed in her stead.
