V.E.N.O.M. breaks into the Louvre to photograph a map on the backs of several paintings. Buddie Hawks disguises himself as Dagger and sneaks into V.E.N.O.M.'s secret hide out, learning about their plans. When pieced together, the map shows the location of a network of Nazi bombs and a triggering device built in World War 2 that are hidden underneath Paris.

Continuity[]
- Matt Trakker does not ask the M.A.S.K. Computer to assemble a team for this mission. It's just him and Buddie Hawks, who was already with him in Paris, France.
- This is the first time Hurricane is identified by its toy name. In its first four appearances, it is called by its prototype name, Night Stalker.
- Matt Trakker saves Buddie's life even though he was unaware that Hawks was disguised as Cliff Dagger.
- Miles Mayhem is Vanessa Warfield's co-driver in Manta as they move from their headquarters to the sewers where Switchblade is stationed.
- T-Bob refers to the time he and Scott took sky-diving lessons off the Eiffel Tower without a parachute in episode 36, The Lippizaner Mystery.
Conflicts[]
- Vanessa Warfield enters a room wearing a lab coat and carrying a piece of film, indicating she had been developing photographs. The coat disappears in one shot when all the agents are looking at the map, then reappears during a wide shot.
- When Buddie, disguised as Dagger, slides down a grappling line from one building to the other, the building he is going to wobbles slightly at 8:30.
- Whenever anyone is running, you hear about twice as many footsteps as you see feet touching the ground. At 10:15 however, when all four VENOM agents can be seen running, you hear the same amount of steps as at 10:19, when only Buddie is running.
- At 9:30, just after Rax sneakily has a peek at Mayhem's playing cards, his black gloves are off in the shot where he acts innocent.
- At 11:14 Rax seems to be able to turn on Piranha's headlight without touching any controls.
- When at 13:41 Buddie's Penetrator mask is lowered onto his head, the top of his red cap is still visible.
- When T-Bob trips and pulls the sheet off Switchblade, there are two subsequent shots of Scott and T-Bob during which the background remains the same. (Just after the 15:00 mark. The shot where Scott gasps has the same background as the subsequent one where T-Bob's behind hits the ground.)
