D-Day at Alcatraz, Part 216th of 19 episodes in DiC season 1. Written by David B. Carren and J. Larry Carroll. First aired November 6, 1990.Previous episode: D-Day at Alcatraz, Part 1 Next episode: The Mind Mangler |
Skydive uses his crashing Sky Hawk to ram the Comstock Lode's rudder, allowing the Joes to board the sub, but Destro uses the captured Pathfinder and Warden Dandridge as hostages to force the Joes to fall back. Cobra airlifts the sub to Alcatraz for repair while Grid-Iron sneaks onto the island to disable the sub's PM generator.
Grid-Iron meets the Ghost of Alcatraz, actually an old loose prisoner named Speedy, who helps him rescue Pathfinder, Dandridge, and the guards, and they attack Cobra's sub using tear gas before being captured again thanks to Speedy's treachery. But once they are taken aboard the sub, Speedy frees them again and they deactivate the generator, leaving the Joes clear to land vehicles on the island and retake the prison.
