Jason Locke, St. John and Mike Rivers are flying in Airwolf to the country of San Barrios in order to rescue Jack Paley from General Miguel Butarra. Butarra lands his helicopter in a stadium and is told by Colenso that the rebels are closing in on them. Butarra walks up to Jack, who is tied to a chair, and asks him where the money is. Jack doesn't say anything and Colenso hits him with the butt of his rifle. Locke lands Airwolf and Mike and St. John get out and walk towards the stadium. Butarra questions Jack some more and pulls out a photo of Renee Paley and Valdez holds a metal pipe against Jack's windpipe. Locke attacks the government troops, and Colenso hits Jack with a night stick. Airwolf is hit when Valdez fires a missile at it. Butarra tells Colenso that he killed Jack and St. John and Mike find Jack's body. St. John picks up a necklace Jack had with a butterfly on it. Butarra gets away in a helicopter and Mike calls Locke to pick them up.

St. John and Mike tell him they are going to visit with Jack's family and Jo tells Locke, she will go with him. At Sand Piper Island, Renee asks Adrian Paley if he is okaying seeing St. John and Mike. She picks up Mike and St. John in her boat. As Adrian is looking at a photo of himself and Jack, Colenso walks into Adrian's inn with Valdez and they point rifles at Adrian.

St. John goes onto Renee's boat and contacts Lewis who opens a communication line with Airwolf. St. John tells Locke and Jo about Butarra taking Mike, Adrian and Renee hostage. St. John goes to the breaker box and shuts off the power to the inn and Butarra shoots Adrian. Butarra tells Colenso to look for Valdez. St. John sneaks up on Colenso and throws him off the second story of the inn, killing him. Locke and Jo arrive at the island in Airwolf and land.
