Synopsis	The Torch accompanies the Parrot on his prison train to California in order to help a chemist who wishes to examine an inactive volcano for sulfur deposits. The Parrot's henchmen help him escape the train by flying close, in a plane with an extended ladder, which the Parrot climbs. The Torch loses the plane in the clouds. He follows the chemist to the volcano and conducts the requested examination. The Parrot and his men follow him and plant dynamite in the volcano.
