The spies wake up sitting inside a large metal pot. Their hands are shackled, and they cannot see outside of this metal cup, even as they stand.
"Where are we?" asks Alex.
"I don't know, and I don't want to find out!" responds Sam.
"Are you okay, Clover?" asks Alex.
"Yeah! I've got a nast headache, but otherwise I'm okay!"
"Let's get out of this thing," says Sam.
Slowly the gals each deploy a lockpick they hide in the cuff of their jumpsuit sleeves. They don't want to attract any attention, in case they are being monitored by camera. On their first body movement to stand, Saldo's voice blares out over the intercom.
"I see you have awakened, my beautiful dreamers!" Saldo begins.
"Not funny, much?" says Alex under her breath.
"You, no doubt, wonder where you are?"
"The thought DID cross my mind!" responds Sam, as the gals huddle back-to-back. They should be able to pick the locks on each other's shackles, as Saldo explains how he'll eliminate them.
The pot they are in begins to rise, as Saldo continues. "You have started on your final journey! You are sitting in the crucible, in which I plan to melt the gold bullion bricks! I will first ensure that my furnace is hot enough to melt the gold, by melting you!"
As they start moving forward, the gals have finished picking the shackle locks. The shackles fall to the floor of the crucible.
"So? You have been able to free yourselves from the shackles! It will do you no good! You are now thirty feet above the floor! If you try to jump out of the crucible, you'll die from the fall!"
"How is melting the gold going to help you?" asks Sam, as she and the gals use the suction part of their go-go boots to get up to the lip of the crucible. She wants details of the plan, in case there is another part of this operation that needs to be suppressed.
"I will pour the molten gold into ingots. I will sell the ingots on the black market just under market price, and amass my fortune! I already have buyers lined up, for my ingots!
"I see that you have reached the crucible lip, but now you can see that it did you no good!"
"Actually, Saldo, we're FULL of surprises!" says Clover, as all three gals now activate the jet part of their boots, flying off the crucible lip!
"GUARDS! SHOOT THEM DOWN!" cries Saldo, over the intercom.
Immediately the guards open fire on the flying spies. Quickly the gals split up.
Clover flies around the crucible, and then comes down on some guards who are trying to shoot Alex. She plows into the unsuspecting guards, jarring the rifles from their hands.
"Thanks, girlfriend!" says Alex to Clover. Clover makes a quick 180-degree turn and heads back towards the guards. She lands and lashes out with an assortment of kicks and punches, subduing the guards.
Alex, now free of the gunfire, flies at floor level, until she sees the guards trying to shoot Sam. Alex flies into them, knocking them down, like bowling pins!
"STRIKE!" Sam says enthusiastically, as she comes down to help Alex. Clover also joins in.
The guards are being attacked from three sides, and don't know who to attack first. Sam nails one guard with a frontal kick and two more with handstand whirling kicks. Alex uses her blender kick to incapacitate two guards and a roundhouse kick to nail a third. Clover sees a guard has recovered his rifle, but before he can aim it, she activates her boots and nails him hard, knocking him out.
But the gals see more guards entering the area. They quickly fly up into the dark rafters and toward a set of stairs that the reinforcements just came through. They quickly go through the door, and look for any open room they can find. They see an opening to their right, and fly through it.
The guards were going to try the same trap as before, baiting the gals with an open door. They were not prepared for their fast entrance, however, and missed all three with their knockout gas. The gals fly right into them, knocking the breath out of them.
"Thanks!" says Sam as she relieves one of the guards of his gas mask.
"Don't mind if I do!" says Clover as she does the same.
"How sweet!" exclaims Alex as she does likewise.
Without their gas masks, it is the guards, not the spies that fall victim to the knockout gas! Finally, the gals can catch their breath, as they turn off their jet boots.
"Phew! That was close!" exclaims Sam.
"That wasn't even a close shave! It was a full body wax!" adds Clover.
"What now?" asks Alex.
"Let's use our lockpicks to get into the air vent! That should keep us away from Saldo's cameras!" suggests Sam.
"Great idea, Sam!" responds Clover as she pops the air vent cover off. Soon all three gals are in the vent, and Alex replaces the cover.
"We better keep these gas masks on! It will keep us from sneezing because of the dust in the vents," says Sam.
"Right, Sammy!" adds Alex, as the three slowly crawl through the vents.
Meanwhile, Saldo has gone into his lair. He walks over a technician.
"I must punish the United States for allowing stowaways on the gold barge! Turn off the electricity! I must then broadcast!"
The technician quickly turns off all electricity again.
In the USA, everything electric stops working. Once again, only buildings with power generators have electricity, and the people start to go to those buildings again.
The President is upset. "What more does that Saldo want? He's got the gold!" he exclaims, as he is unaware of the gals' stowing away. He gets his answer over the television.
