Synopsis for "Pocketful of Miracles"
Steve continues his narration from his point of view during the mission in France. Captain America, Bucky, the Howling Commandos, and the Cirque de la Revolution all team up to stop whatever the Red Skull, Baron von Strucker and the rest of the Nazi forces in Paris have planned.
The group has word that the Nazis are there to steal France's history and culture by raiding the Louvre Museum and taking its art back to Berlin. After a squabble between Bucky and Captain America, Bucky feels like Steve has lost faith in him and unbeknownst to Steve decides to take on the Red Skull alone to prove himself. Captain America discovers this while he and his allies are about to bust into the museum in order halt the theft of the priceless art. Instead of assisting them Captain America abandons the mission and makes a bee line back to where he believes Bucky to be, taking out Nazi patrolmen along the way, while the rest of the allied forces breach the museum.
Upon entering the museum the group realizes it's a trap when they're met face-to-face with Baron von Strucker and a regiment of Nazi soldiers. It is revealed that Olivier has betrayed the group and he comes forward as the traitor that's tipped off their enemies. Meanwhile Captain America is racing across Paris to the Eiffel Tower where Bucky is being held prisoner by the Red Skull who plans on blowing up the tower. The Skull gives Captain America an ultimatum, save the country's history or save his sidekick...
