A secret weapon, a rocket laser, is to be gained from an Eastern block country. And Father Bernard and his list of Western operatives are to be taken out of the country. Dana works as a waitress in a night club and is contacted by Max, who has got access to the weapon. Max delivers the weapon to the IMF and is killed by police. Father Bernhard dies too, by a stroke, but has given Jim the list before. To get the weapon out of the intensively guarded country, Barney divides it into 5 parts - one for each. 

Just by chance the owner of the nightclub, Eric, comes across Dana's part of the weapon and blackmails her. Paris (Dana's brother) buys the part with counterfeit money posing as a worker at the airport and puts it into a soft drink machine. While Eric gets arrested by the police, Paris drops his disguise and enters the bus where the team is waiting. Jim gets the part out of the machine and joins them all. Soon a high government official (Paris) calls the chief of security and explains a delicate situation to him. 

Now the chief awaits the IMF at the airport. Having just mixed with arriving travelers, all IMF wearing black - blue uniforms enter the airport from outside. The chief sorts them out and confronts them: "You should have instructed your company not to insult our government!" Jim first tries to solve the matter, but is then (after being threatened to get arrested) convinced to rather leave the country with his team than to insist on staying.
