In a drunken stupor after getting a $500,000 payoff and thinking he has gotten rid of Tracy and the chemist, Yogee Yamma passes out in a hotel room. He forgets that the nerve gas he carries has to be kept cool with dry ice and the device explodes, filling the room with flames and killing him. Later Tracy investigates a bomb and he and Pat are captured by Pearl Erad, the Black Pearl.
Black Pearl takes Tracy and Patton to a secret proving grounds in the mountains to have them test her combination tank-plane-submarine. During underwater tests, Tracy finds a way to use an aqueduct to send a message for help.
Tracy and Patton have to test the tank against flame-throwers. The police interrupt the test but have to deal with the flame-thrower themselves. Pearl and Horace escape to an underground hangar with a foreign dignitary, but are stopped when the diplomat proves to be a G-Man in disguise. Later Junior goes into business with a man named Buck, parking bicycles on his vacant lot.
