Plot synopsis[]
When her father, a famous Nazi hunter, is murdered, a young woman named Sarah seeks revenge with the use of Airwolf. Sarah wishes to avenge her father's death, which points to the notorious Nazi war criminal Helmut Kruger -- whom her father was stalking. Kruger resides in Paraguay in a fortress, and Sarah's only hope of penetrating the stronghold is Airwolf. She infiltrates Airwolf's hiding place and persuades Hawke and Dominic to help her. Hawke is reluctant until Archangel says he doesn't want Hawke to go after Kruger. "Not everything is black and white," he says. So that's just the motivation Hawke needs.[1]
