Synopsis for "The Pipeline Ploy!"
In this text, the Joes are in Alaska following a group of Cobras who are transporting double-walled steel canisters. They split up to pursue the Cobras but are ambushed, and some of the canisters break, releasing a new toxin that gives them only six hours to live. The Joes manage to overpower the Cobras, but they are still in a difficult situation. Meanwhile, Snake-Eyes and his team board the Battle Bear to neutralize the RPG team and go after the other H.I.S.S. The Joes call for backup, but General Flagg declines to send a quarantine team. The Joes eventually track the Cobras to a nuclear power plant and engage them in a battle. The Cobras steal the plutonium from the plant, but the Joes manage to get it back. Doc reveals that he tricked the Cobras by giving them tetanus boosters instead of the antidote, and everyone has a laugh.
