Synopsis

Knowing that it takes the Blackhawks 6 hours to fly to Luonia, Queen Bee persuades the dictator of Valga to post an armored division at their border and wait for her word to attack. When her Golden Swarm arrives, instead of aiding Reglo they strafe his forces, then fly on to Luonia to pose as their defenders. The Queen Bee lands at Valga's capitol and kills Reglo, then seizes power. Papers worldwide carry the news of the Golden Swarm's embarrassment of the Blackhawks, inspiring women all over to join them and seize power. Blackhawk exposes their scheme.
