MacLeod's friend, Joe Dawson, tries to persuade him to accept that diplomatic immunity is a necessary and vital aspect of international relations. However, MacLeod cannot stomach the idea that the diplomat responsible for heinous crimes might remain free due to diplomatic immunity. As a result, he decides to take justice into his own hands.
Meanwhile, a beautiful young woman named Ahriman arrives in town to settle a score with MacLeod.
