Hearts and Cannons

Dusty and Footloose must help Dr. Nancy Winters, a scientist who was tricked into designing a plasma cannon for Destro and is being held captive by his men. Dusty and Footloose decide to rescue her. They steal a Cobra vehicle in attempt to rescue her when they meet a man named Ahmed Razouli Jabal, a king who plans on avenging the capture of his people by Cobra and liberating them from his country.

"Now you know. And knowing is half the battle." The Sunbow run closed every episode with a public-service spot delivered by a Joe character, addressing kids on a real-world hazard or virtue. The cartoon's deeper ethic, threaded into the writing across the run, was that Cobra's worldview was based on fear and the Joes' was based on responsibility.
