James Read, a spy, is infiltrating as an analyst to access a classified U.S. missile guidance system and steal its plans. To thwart him, the IMF devises a plan for him to unknowingly take back fake documents. Dana poses as Read's contact, while he and a phony boss, Jim, pretend to be romantically involved to secure blackmail photos for Read's scheme. Read reveals his intention to eliminate Jim, but before Dana can warn him, she's abducted by Hecker, a deranged man who believes she's his deceased girlfriend. Willy rescues Barney from a firetrap set for Jim, while Paris and Barney manage to save Dana and alert Jim just in time to dodge a rigged car, leaving Read convinced he has succeeded with the guidance system.
