Plot Outline:

MacGyver, returning home one night, walks into his apartment, only to find everything- everything he owns- missing from his apartment. Initially suspecting a robbery, MacGyver eventually comes to the conclusion that his old friend Jack Dalton is the one responsible for the theft. MacGyver, after reading a note left by the thief, visits a hangar at the airport to see Jack and reclaim his property. Jack explains that he needs help from MacGyver to free a "botanist" held prisoner in a Central American country. MacGyver, not knowing what trouble he is getting himself into, agrees to help Jack. So, Jack and MacGyver take off for Central America- only to be greeted by the police and an American drug smuggler on the runway who are determined to capture Jack and force him to tell where he has hidden their heroin. (It is important to know that Jack never intentionally wanted to smuggle heroin). The two of them manage to get away and come up with a plan to free the botanist- which MacGyver now knows is his friend Michelle ("Mike"). Jack intentionally messes up the plan and gets himself captured, knowing MacGyver will rescue Mike and himself. MacGyver manages to do so and the three of them escape in a truck to Jack's plane, finding it guarded by the government security forces. This time, Jack comes up with a plan to take MacGyver and Mike out of the picture. He cuts a deal with the smuggler to let the two of them go in exchange for him giving up the heroin (which he and MacGyver want to destroy). He does so and takes off in his plane with the corrupt security official, leaving MacGyver and Mike tied up. However, Jack left MacGyver's knife within his reach, so MacGyver will be able to cut the two of them free after he and the smuggler are gone. But Jack is off the ground and MacGyver suspects the smuggler will kill him after they take off. Can Jack take care of the smuggler singlehandely? And what about the heroin...?
