一批价值百万的黄金被盗，即将到铁幕手中，一旦成功，将影响真个格局，Phelps这次的任务就是阻止黄金被送到铁幕，更要阻止有人私吞，他和他的团队这次如何进行计划

Esta vez, objetivo de Jim y su equipo es un gran maestro internacional del ajedrez, que planea robar el oro incautado a un movimiento opositor de un país del bloque soviético. Rollin se hace pasar por un jugador de ajedrez aficionado, ayudado por una computadora que Barney está operando y que es imbatible en ese juego. El plan, ideado por Phelps, también requiere una ingeniosa forma de arrebatar el oro tanto al ajedrecista como a las autoridades.

La police militaire d'un petit pays de l'Est réussit à s'emparer d'un million de dollars en or, qui était destiné aux membres de la résistance. Un joueur d'échec renommé semble vouloir s'approprier le butin.

Nicholas Groat, a grandmaster chessplayer, organizes a team that plans to steal gold intended for the underground in an Eastern bloc country that was intercepted by the country's authorities. The IMF must recover the gold from the authorities and keep Groat from getting it. Groat forces the authorities to move the gold from a bank to a vault at the hotel where he (and Rollin) are playing in a tournament. The hotel puts a time lock on the vault for extra security, but Groat notices that Rollin is cheating, using a hearing aid. When he forces Rollin to demonstrate, the computer ""inadverently"" accelerates timepieces, so Groat wants to use it to get into the vault. Rollin agrees, but requires Groat use his team. Willy fakes a typhoid outbreak and Dr. Phelps administers shots to the guards which are actually sedatives. With Groat's help they get into the vault, then take the gold at gunpoint and leave him there.
