In Tekwar season 1 episode 3 titled "Tek Lords, Part 1," the viewer is presented with a new and exciting adventure for the characters of the show. The episode starts with a fast-paced chase, as Jake and his partner are in pursuit of a group of bank robbers who are trying to evade them on their futuristic motorcycles. As they close in on their quarry, Jake uses a high-tech gadget to disable their bikes but is shocked to discover that the robbers are actually police officers from a rival precinct who were in pursuit of the same criminals.
After the confusing confrontation, Jake and his partner, Sid Gomez, are summoned by commander Walter Bascom, who gives them an exclusive assignment. It turns out that a new drug called "tek" has been introduced on the streets, and it is causing chaos in the city. The drug is so powerful that even people who have previously been addicted to other substances are unable to resist it. Bascom tells Jake and Sid that they must find the source of the tek and arrest the suppliers before it becomes an even bigger problem.
As Jake and Sid investigate, they discover that the tek is being distributed by a mysterious group called the "tek lords." These are people with advanced technology and a source of wealth beyond any of their wildest imaginations, which has enabled them to become the most powerful new force in the world. They have even infiltrated most of the police departments, which makes Jake and Sid's mission all the more challenging.
In their quest to find the tek lords, Jake and Sid meet the beautiful and intriguing son of a wealthy businessman who appears to be well-connected with the group, and as she assists them in obtaining information, they also enlist the help of a local bar owner who they hope can lead them to the tek lords' HQ. The quest for the tek lords is essential as they have created a rampant crime wave in the city, and it begins to reach an even more critical stage when Jake's son is caught in the midst of a tek drug deal.

However, Sonny's presence becomes important in the episode's final moments. Meanwhile, Jake discovers a deadly secret – the street drug tek is not just a drug, but it's also a new form of interactive virtual reality that is highly addictive and, ultimately, deadly.
As the episode reaches its climax, Jake and Sid are ambushed by the tek lords, and their pursuit leads them into a dangerous confrontation with an army of upgraded robots.
