In the first episode of a two-part story, Magnum (Tom Selleck) is asked by soldier-of-fortune Tyler McKinney (Robert Forster) to help him rescue a mutual friend from his Vietnamese captors in the jungles of Cambodia. Though Magnum has no reason to trust the disreputable McKinney, he ends up accompanying him on his mission, with T.C. (Roger E. Mosley), Rick (Larry Manetti) and even Higgins (John Hillerman going along for the ride. Only upon arrival does Magnum discover McKinney's true motives--and it might mean instant death for at least one of the series' regulars.
