Version One: A team of thieves steals an ancient Babylonian manuscript on “secret potions” from the British Museum. A Cobra Polar Strike Force invades a U.S. base in Antarctica and steals a rare botanical specimen. In the bayous of Louisiana, Zartan leads Cobra troopers on a search for a rare fungus. The object: to create an irresistible perfume - a love potion to make a famous Greek shipping tycoon fall prey to the Baroness’ wiles and put his entire fleet in Cobra’s control. [Note: individuals - not teams - stole the ingredients, and Zartan was ambushed in his lab by three Joes]
Version Two: Cobra creates an irresistible perfume to make a famous Greek shipping tycoon fall in love with Baroness and put his entire fleet in Cobra’s control.

The design of the dress for the Baroness changes while she is dancing with
Flint.
  
Another change in character design occurs when the waiter’s jacket color
changes twice in the span of 15 seconds.
 
 
The MANTA makes its second and last animated appearance. The wind-surfing
vehicle first appeared in "The
Weather Dominator".
A Cobra base designed like the temple in "The Weather Dominator" mini-series is once again seen during the first
season.
On a personal note, listening to Deep Six hum the theme song from Jaws while
floating under the yacht in his SHARC and waiting for Flint to radio him would have been a nice touch.
