In an unnamed Latin American dictatorship, a group of rebel freedom fighters fight to bring about a less oppressive society.

The rebels, led by the enigmatic Enrique Carrasco (Collins) who has returned to his native land to fight, attack a hydro-electric dam.

After killing the security guards, Carrasco's men place explosives at a crucial point in the dam wall; when they detonate, the resulting tidal surge destroys a nearby bridge that is carrying a government convoy.

At the site of the destroyed dam, Carrasco finds that the Government forces have already built a pontoon bridge and are recovering the sunken supply convoy.

Commando Leopard was made from many returning cast and film crew members of Code Name: Wild Geese: director Antonio Margheriti, producer Erwin C. Dietrich, cinematographer Peter Baumgartner,[1] Lewis Collins, Klaus Kinski, Manfred Lehmann, Thomas Danneberg and Luciano Pigozzi.
