[1] Newspaper reporter Amy Allen sets out to prove that The A-Team – an elite US Special Forces commando unit from the Vietnam War convicted of a crime they did not commit – really exists and are working on the side of the law as mercenaries.

After passing several tests she ends up hiring them to rescue one of her fellow reporters, Al Massey, who has been kidnapped by Mexican bandits led by Malavida Valdez.

After fighting off the bandits with equipment the Team have scammed and scavenged, they are soon captured by a band of guerrilla soldiers whose leader, Colonel Flores, is working with Valdez.

At the beginning and end of the episode, Hannibal (disguised as his own agent) is trying to get another job for himself; when the news about the A-Team's efforts hit the TVs, he humorously almost reveals he was involved.

Special Guest Star: Meeno Peluce as Joey Tataro Police Inspector Ed Maloney seeks the A-Team's help in bringing down a renegade LAPD SWAT team that has been committing crimes for money.

Baracus has - under unknown circumstances - received a .50 calibre gunshot wound in the leg, forcing Hannibal and Face to take him to a small-town doctor for help.

's appearance and rudeness, the doctor assumes that he is a part of a group of bikers that has threatened to return to Bad Rock for their captured leader; she calls the sheriff, who arrests Hannibal and Face.

Not wanting to feel responsible for leaving Bad Rock defenseless, the A-Team allies with the sheriff to set up traps to defeat the bikers.

The A-Team are called to Las Vegas by two college girls to search for their missing professor Bruce Warfel who developed the perfect gambling system.

With a bounty out and Hannibal's face captured on camera, the A-Team quickly figure out that Gianni's #2 guy killed him; they arrange for his arrest while escaping before Lynch arrives.

The A-Team is called to New York City by a community of small business owners, who are being abused by a wealthy businessman that's forcing them into a protection racket.

In the ensuing battle, Amy loses her brand new car; Face is forced to give up a large percentage of the A-Team's share in the sell of the watermelons to cover it.

Unfortunately, the team is given incorrect information about the enemy compound and are captured; they are believed to be legitimate American agents, no matter how many times Hannibal tries to correct them.
