MacGyver is kidnapped by enemy agents to retrieve sensitive information he stole from them. To get him to talk, they inject MacGyver with a hallucinogenic drug that will kill him in six hours, unless an antidote they have is administered.

Strolling along the docks at the San Pedro Harbor, MacGyver helps Lisa, a teen runaway, make a fishing lure out off a gum wrapper. It works instantly. Federal Agent Pete Thornton is there to meet MacGyver on his return from a 10-day sea voyage. MacGyver is in possession of a list of East German operatives that he has managed to acquire. The East Germans are no happy about this and send a top operative to hire some thugs and ambush the two U.S. feds. Pete is wounded while MacGyver is captured. Before capture, however, he quickly hides the list document in the base of a parking lot's light stanchion. An assailant team member dressed as a policeman gets the best off him. He is taken to a warehouse and given a poison that will kill him in six hours if he doesn't have the antidote. To get the antidote, of course, he must turn over the list. MacGyver escapes using bed-springs to make a door-smasher and wanders around the harbor in a hallucinogenic daze. He is spotted by Lisa, the runaway he helped, who takes him to her room in a different abandoned warehouse. Unfortunately, the kidnappers find a couple of Lisa's friends who saw her take MacGyver with her. When the trio comes calling, MacGGyver rigs up a TV tube to explode and a fire hose draped out a window to mislead them in thinking they have left the building. He then sneaks back to get the antidote. During a struggle with the German agent, the antidote container gets tossed through a drain grate. MacGyver must generate a magnet from an iron pipe to retrieve it in time.—Garon Smith

*After a ten days sea voyage, Mac arrives in San Pedro Harbor, to meet Pete Thornton whom he is to hand a top-secret list of east German spies and contacts. He brilliantly fights off the East Germans waiting for them, but Pete is shot and he overpowered by a false cop. Taken to their secret HQ, he refuses to tells where he hid the list under threat of torture, so is administered a drug that will cause agony within 3 hours and blur his memory, which returns gradually, but death after six unless he 'earns' the antidote. He still escapes, but is already badly affected, so dependent on Lisa, a runaway teen whom he taught to improvise fishing bait. He still fights off the communist goons and puts up a seemingly hopeless fight for the antidote, which he snaps from the yaws of apparent defeat after getting the East Germans arrested.—KGF Vissers

MacGyver has some very important information that enemy agents want. They know that MacGyver hid it and that he will never voluntarily tell them where it is. So, they inject him with a narcotic drug that will kill him in six hours unless he can steal the antidote before his time runs out.—Lindsay Duke

Pete meets MacGyver at the San Pedro Harbor after he has been out to sea for a 10 day mission. They are ambushed by East German agents who want a list that MacGyver has smuggled into the country. Pete is wounded and MacGyver is captured and given a poison that will kill him in 6 hours if he doesn't have the antidote. MacGyver escapes and wanders around the harbor in a hallucinogenic daze aided only by a young homeless girl named Lisa.—tomtrekp
