Plot Outline:
When MacGyver is on his way to a vacation, he takes the wrong way, and ends up at a small airstrip where everybody seems to be behaving strangely. He soon realizes that the small airstrip and those who work there have been taken hostage by kidnappers waiting for a small charter plane to arrive. As soon as MacGyver learns what is going on, the kidnappers spring their trap and take him hostage as well. Now all of them must wait at the airport- only then will the kidnappers hijack the plane and escape the country with a truckload of money that MacGyver inadvertently helped them get to. (The reason MacGyver did so was to save the life of the armored truck driver- whom the kidnappers murdered anyway.) Now, when the plane arrives, will the kidnappers kill their hostages so no one can talk...?
