On board the jet is a brand-new, fully electronic laser guidance system that absolutely must not fall into the wrong hands. The CIA therefore sends super-agent Ken Tani, nicknamed "Red Eagle," to retrieve the expensive system. Agent Andrei of the Russian KGB also enters the race. A dramatic duel ensues between the two.
