Syndicate hood Thomas Bachman steals two incriminating computer reels, and also tries to kill his rival, Matthew Drake, with a bomb, but only manages to cripple Drake. Bachman is on the run from Drake in northern Mexico when Bachman arranges for a private plane to fly him back to the United States. Barney intercepts and poses as the pilot, setting the stage for the IMF to bring Bachman to an isolated mansion where they hope to dupe him into revealing the location of the hidden computer reels.
