Face decides to invest some of the teams funds in 60% of a boxer, Billy Marquette, but looking him up the team finds his sister Tina bend over his miserable body after Sonny Monroe's ruffians beat him up to force him to lose the fight of his life against a certain Dixie Joe so the gangster can earn enough money to finance a lucrative drug deal with a Columbian. Hannibal enjoys concocting one of his more elaborate plans. First Gabriel is taken out of the equation because of a 'hand wound' fighting BA, who thus becomes his obvious successor, managed by Hannibal, who supposedly owes gambling debts to a bookie; buying those off makes the villains pay back Face's investment with a nice profit. Then BA is trained by Murdock, supposedly now in gangster Monroe's pocket, so the stage is all set for a finale with punch...

Hannibal is playing a new aquatic monster, alligator-mutation Gatorella, so Face, who schmoozes up to the dumb blond starlet Jennifer 'Jenny' O'Hannorhan, scammed a plane even Murdock doubts airworthy, just seconds before Deckers MPs try to shoot it down, but they get to a tiny Mexican village- where the welcome is exactly the grim, armed opposite of Face's first visit. After the star Charles Lake walks off, leaving Face to fill in after finding a contract loophole, it turns out even the sheriff is in the power of major Ramon DeJarro, an Argentinian junta butcher...

Face goes back to the orphanage he grew up at and runs into General Fulbright. They escape, but his old friend from there has been kidnapped because he has apparently found a sunken treasure ship somewhere off the coast.

The A-Team has been convicted for murder and will face a firing squad within 24 hours. Murdock escapes from the V.A. hospital in a straight jacket. He and Frankie Santana force their way aboard General Stockwell's private plane. Stockwell gives them information concerning Barier Island, where the others are being held. He also visits the Team in their cell, proposing they do a specified number of missions for him (not all of them suicidal) in return for a full, presidential pardon.

The members of the A-Team are living the good life with a bunch of bikini clad babes at their private resort in Langley, Virginia when General Stockwell arrives with his assistant Carla and Scout master Murdock. Alexander Martien, Dictator of San Marcos, has taken three U.S. citizens hostage. The Team is dropped off at San Marcos by submarine and hooks up with a group of revolutionaries. Frankie finds a love interest in the shape of a local girl, Bonita Guajevos. When Faceman is thrown into the same cell as the three hostages, they turn out to be American Intelligence Agents with Russians on their trail.
