The story

“Hot Air and Chicken Feathers”

Baron von Blimp, in the employ of the Highwayman, challenges U.S. to a race between his airship and U.S.'s truck. During the race, the airship drops bombs towards U.S.'s truck, but U.S. hides in a tunnel. Waiting until the last minute, U.S. throws a grappling hook and boards the airship, fighting off the Baron and his men, before abseiling back to his truck, letting an incoming storm blow the airship away.
