Detailed Synopsis
In Afghanistan, Frank Casabello walks into Mustafa's tent. Frank shows Mustafa photos of weapons that are available for sale and Mustafa makes an order for various weapons. Mustafa asks to see the photo Frank has of Jo Santini and makes an offer for her, which Frank agrees to. Jo and St. John are doing a test check in Airwolf. At Santini Air, a fax comes in to the office which Mike Rivers reads and then radios Jo and reads her the message, which is from Frank. It asks her to come to the Casbah Hotel in Kabul. She gets packed and St. John and Mike try to convince her not to go due to how dangerous Afghanistan is. Mike convinces St. John to go with Jo, which upsets Jo. Jo and St. John arrive at her hotel room and Habib tells Jo that Frank will pick her up later and then gives her a dress. St. John goes to the bar and James McKiddon approaches him and asks for a drink. James introduces himself and St. John asks him if he has heard of Frank. James tells him that Frank was reported dead the week before and St. John runs out of the bar. He goes to Jo's room, but she is gone.
St. John returns to the bar and asks James if he is sure Frank is dead. James asks the Bartender for a telephone and St. John calls Santini Air. He asks Mike to do a background check on Frank and his company. Jason Locke and Mike get in Airwolf to start their assignment to look for a downed satellite in China. St. John and James go to the warehouse for Global Medical Aid and James sees Frank alive in the building. St. John tells James to go back to the bar and that he is expecting a phone call. St. John then tells James to tell the caller, Airwolf. Mike does a background check on Frank and sees that Frank has had multiple aliases and also deaths. St. John sneaks into the warehouse, but is caught by Habib and Frank. Jo is brought to Mustafa's camp and Akar brings her to her tent. Woman 1 and Woman 2 enter the tent and give her jewelry and silks. Frank invites St. John to come with him as he delivers supplies to Habib's village. The phone rings at the bar, but James is passed out and doesn't answer it, so the Bartender hangs up. Mike and Locke continue their mission in the direction of Afghanistan.
Mustafa walks into the tent and dismisses Woman 1 and Woman 2. Jo asks for Frank and he tells her that Frank will be there for their wedding ceremony. While driving, Frank is pulled over by a pair of Soviet troops. St. John, Habib and Frank are ordered out of the truck and the crates of medical supplies are revealed to be full of weapons. As one of the Soviet troops is about to hit St. John with his rifle, St. John pulls it away and shoots the other soldier dead after knocking the other one unconscious. St. John grabs Frank and demands to know what is going on. Frank tells him he is taking the weapons to rebels and they continue their journey. Mike and Locke complete their mission and head towards Afghanistan after receiving an emergency alert from St. John. Mustafa tells Jo that Frank sold her to him, but she doesn't believe him. Locke picks up two Soviet jets on Airwolf's scanner heading towards St. John's location.
St. John, Frank and Habib arrive in the camp and St. John is whipped and taken captive by Akar. Frank goes into the tent and Jo slaps him. He tells her that Mustafa has St. John prisoner and Mustafa betrayed him. The next morning, Frank admits to Jo that he is a gun runner and tells her he does it due to growing up in a war zone. He tells her that he loved her and needed her help. Habib cuts St. John loose and tells him where Jo is. Mustafa walks into the tent and hands Frank the money for Jo and Frank says goodbye to her and leaves. Jo steals Mustafa's sword from him and Habib runs up to Frank. Frank shoves Habib to the ground and is about to shoot him when St. John throws a knife into his stomach. Mike and Locke arrive in Airwolf and attack the rebel camp. Akar whips the sword away from Jo and St. John tells Habib to get Jo to safety as he fights Mustafa. Jo runs by Frank who holds out his hand for her to help him. Akar fires a rocket launcher at Airwolf and Mike shoots him dead. As Mustafa is about to impale St. John, Jo shoots Mustafa with a rocket launcher. Habib picks up Jo and St. John in a truck and they drive away. The Soviet jets arrive and Mike and Locke shoot them out of the sky. St. John asks Habib to come with them, but he decides to stay. Back at Santini Air, Jo thanks the guys for helping her, and they all try to take credit.
