M.A.R.S. Patrol
When Admiral Danton decides to evacuate San Francisco, Patricia Chen is killed while escorting orphans to safety. Figuring that the secret invader base is nearby, the M.A.R.S. Patrol allows them to capture war materiel with concealed plastic explosives, then sets them off by remote control. This reveals that the invader base is concealed under Alcatraz Island. Aerial bombardment finishes them off, but the M.A.R.S. men are immediately summoned to cope with a crisis in Washington, D.C.
