The short is considered by Weisman to be adjacent to the Young Justice cartoon, meaning a version of this event happened within the show's continuity.[2] In 2022, the back-up story of Young Justice: Targets shows the canon version of this event, which has differences to the short.[3]

Plot

Oliver Queen waits outside Star City international airport for the arrival of his girlfriend, Dinah. He is delayed in traffic due to the arrival of Princess Perdita.

Count Vertigo has hired Merlyn to assassinate Perdita, who is Vertigo's niece. Perdita will soon become queen of Vlatava following her father's assassination by her uncle. As Merlyn attacks his target, Queen discovers the plan and is forced to intervene as his alter ego Green Arrow. He dispatches several of Merlyn's henchmen before getting Perdita to a place of safety. He is forced to duel Merlyn himself, and defeats him.

Count Vertigo arrives and attempts to kill both the hero and Perdita himself, incapacitating them. Dinah, revealed to be Black Canary, arrives at that moment and knocks Count Vertigo unconscious with her sonic "Canary Cry". Afterwards, Arrow proposes marriage to Black Canary. Urged by a supportive Perdita, Dinah accepts Oliver's proposal and they share a passionate kiss.
