With the War now over in the Pacific, Johnny Hazard and friends are heading back to the States and discharge from the Service. A quick fuel stop has the plane picking up another passenger, a very unpleasant and grouchy fellow named Gooch who suddenly becomes friendly upon landing. He offers them $5k to hold a teakwood box for him for two days. Naturally there is a catch and it comes in the form of a couple of nasty people, a woman named Sable and a fellow named Orchid, who want what is in that box and are willing to hurt people to get it.
