Credits: written by Ted Pederson
Production Number: 600-13
Original Airdate: September 25, 1985
Cobra yanks a Joe intelligence satellite - and the valuable data in its memory banks - out of orbit, only to have it crash in an unexplored region of the African interior. Now it’s a race between the Joes and Cobra to locate the satellite first. But an unexpected obstacle stands in the way of both sides: a savage tribe of proto-humans, the missing link between man and ape, who, ignored by evolution, have dwelled in this jungle for millions of years!

Movie Clip: Flint and the other Joes arrive and direct their collective
firepower at the boulders and pound the rocks into dust. In the aftermath,
Flint rushes toward Lady Jaye and confesses, "I - I was worried." Leaning
close to him, she replies, "That doesn’t exactly make me unhappy, you know?"
And the two embrace. [640 kb]
