Synopsis

Part two of the two-part story begins with prison of war Sgt. Frank Castle found by a Vietnamese solider, hanging in his cell. The soldier enters the cell and Frank springs into action. Castle had faked his hanging by running a length of cloth from his belt to the noose to support his weight. Castle leaves a trail of dead Vietnamese soldiers in his wake as he escapes and sets out to intercept the sniper known as "The Monkey". A group of soldiers find another vietnamese soldier's body tied to a tree with the calling card white skull painted on his carcass and begin to fear the crazy American soldier. Castle leaves a trail of death and destruction everywhere he goes until he finally reaches The Monkey. The Monkey believes he has gotten the drop on Castle, but it was a set-up by Frank, who takes out the MOnkey with a "million-to-one shot".
