A mole at the Firm has leaked classified information and a senior analyst is suspected after his best friend and colleague dies from a stress related heart attack when the pair learn that their retirement benefits have been denied.
Dr. Charles Moffet develops a new prototype super-helicopter code named "Airwolf" for the FIRM (CIA cover), but at the demonstration for the brass assassinates Senator William Dietz, destroys the control center, and disappears with it to Khadafy's Libya, where he proves French mirages and American destroyers are no match for Airwolf and sadistically enjoys excessive privileges. FIRM head Michael Coldsmith Briggs III, nicknamed 'Archangel', is hell-bent to recover Airwolf, so he and his sexy colleague Gabrielle Ademaur spare no effort to recruit by seduction or by blackmail the brilliant Vietnam vet pilot Stringfellow Hawke, who lives as a recluse with his dog but works as a Hollywood stunt pilot with his business partner Dominic Santini.

His men murder several of the members of the dissident faction -- that is, until String and Airwolf make a stand against Tranh's corruption and give the other immigrants a taste of what freedom is all about.
