The pilot of a ship frantically calls out for help, alerting potential rescuers that an intruder is on board. But very quickly, he is attacked by the intruder, Elektra, and run through with her sai. She sets an explosive and then heads to the deck to get off board before it explodes. As the seconds tick off the clock, she is attacked by a group of men. She leaps towards one, knocking him off the deck and together they fall into the ocean below. The time runs out on the bomb, and the the whole ship explodes. She is stuck on a piece of floating debris with the man she had last been fighting with, and he holds a gun up to her.

He quizzes her on her identity, and he explains that he was the man who owned the ship she just exploded. She tells him she was sent to kill him, to protect the man who hired her. The man explains to her that the man who hired her- Von Eisenblum- is a former Nazi who performed experiments on his family in Germany. He had set out to finally punish the man for what he did. They finally float near the island home of Von Eisenblum. Once they are within sight, he shoots at her, grazing her forehead. She manages to swim to shore, where she passes out. She is revived by two men who work on Von Eisenblum's plantation, and she steals their vehicle and heads to his home.

She penetrates his security forces and kills his guard dogs to get inside, where she overhears the man from the ship and Von Eisenblum shouting at each other. The man is prepared to kill Von Eisenblum, and has in fact shot him in the kneecaps, but the Nazi cannot feel anything below his waist anyway. Von Eisenblum picks up a gun and fires it at the man, killing him dead. Elektra walks into the room and he tells her it has been a long time since he killed a Jew. Elektra is enraged by this and fires her sai at him, killing him dead.
