Madame Eva Parada, the president of Sumora, is inviting major U.S. business corporations to set-up branchs in her country, by signing lease agreements, however a small rebel group, who call themselves "The Revolutionary Forces of Sumora", are not tolerating this happening.

When providing ground and aerial security at the Sumoran Embassy, where a guest reception is underway, Blue Thunder is decoyed by an supposedly out-of-control civilian plane, while Bubba and Ski do not notice the "gorgeous" woman who offered them sky-diving lessons at an airshow, Gretchen Terrell, sky-diving herself discretely onto the Embassy premises and planting explosives around the perimeter. These do cause heavy damage, but do not scare away the major corporations and Madame Eva Parada from continuing their negotiations, even though The Revolutionary Forces gave them a highly threatening warning.

Although Captain Braddock is completely annoyed at how the "most sophisticated surveillance unit in the world" managed to let this occur, he reluctantly decides to hand the crew a second chance in protecting the Madame's life at her Embassy while she signs the lease agreements. But with Bubba and Ski lured away from their duties by Terrell and her rebel group, leaving them in a sky-diving plane with no parachutes and the inability in flying it, Chaney and Wonderlove are torn between protecting Madame Eva Parada, when knowing that an attack is about to be made on her life, or once again saving their two fellow crew-members.
