CIA agent John Glames (or James Bond in the U.S.) is dispatched to the fictional Latin American nation of Santa Paragua to recover a stolen experimental stealth fighter that vanished from an American naval air station. His investigation quickly turns dangerous when a KGB operative tricks him into retrieving classified case documents, then leaves him for dead in an underwater cave. After escaping, Glames uncovers a larger conspiracy involving a dictator named Otto who has seized power through a puppet government, and a global criminal organization called Spyder whose leader, Dr. Why, plans to use the stolen aircraft to threaten major cities around the world.
