Long Summary:

Destro finds his badly injured Baroness, and he throws away his mask.

Cobra Commander gets on the last cargo plane to leave the
Hawaiian Island of Kauai that he has had control of for a period of time.

The Joe team, Airtight, Scarlett, Stalker,
Flint, Roadblock, and Shipwreck, are in the sewers of the missile base on Kauai Island, as the conventional bombs are destroying everything on the surface. On their heals is Duke, who is leading a group of Cobra soldiers, to take out the Joe team. Some of this bomb damage has collapsed part of the sewer and they are forced to retrace there steps back towards Duke’s team.

Duke uses a “rubber duckie”, really a floating time bomb, to try a blow up the team. They spot the bomb and let it go past just as it explodes.

As Cobra Commander’s cargo plane is being advanced on by the Air Force planes. Cobra Commander, who has changed into diving gear, jumps out the back of the plane, and leaves a grenade that causes the plane to blow up.

Back in the sewers, Duke and his Cobra team come upon the bodies of the Joe team. Of course, this was a trap in which the Joe team catches all of the Cobra troopers. Duke makes a run for it, but Scarlett catches him and they both go under the water fighting.

On the surface of the base, Beach Head and Snake-Eyes have made there way onto the base, and are doing some serious damage. The US Army arrives with its invasion force to secure the island. Destro turns himself in to the Army, with the barely alive Baroness, asking them to save her.

Cobra Commander meets up with a Cobra submarine with Storm Shadow aboard, and they head off to a base in
South America.

Duke is first to reach the surface. And Scarlett has won the fight by stabbing Duke in the back with her knife. Duke, the traitor, is dead. The Joe team then moves out to the street, where the regular US Army guys arrest them. Hawk shows up to release the team and salute them for a job well done.
