Synopsis
Original Airdate: January 5,1984, 8:00pm

Six men on business trips to the island of San Cristobal have disappeared, after having gone there to buy illegal drugs to bring back to the U. S.. Jack and Roxanne are sent to the island to investigate the disappearances, while Walter and Auto use the Autoplane to fly there and back them up. Upon their arrival, Walter is arrested by island police, and an escaping Automan goes under cover as a rich American to find the murderers.

With the help of the island police, Robert Sawyer - a drug dealer and fugitive from the U. S. - has been luring desperate businessmen to their deaths by selling them drugs, keeping the money, and dropping them from his plane over the open ocean.

While Walter persuades the police to release him, Auto passes himself off as a crooked businessman wanting to make an "investment." The scheme works, and Auto is taken to the airport while Walter, in the meantime, has been caught by Sawyer's men and is also being taken to the plane to be given a final plane ride to his death.
