THE STORY
After demolishing a major building in an eastern city, Cooper visits his Green Beret Buddy, Harry. Following a cheerful drunken reunion, Cooper decides to accompany him on an arms-smuggling expedition to a small Latin American country, Santa Maria.
When Harry is killed by government soldiers, Cooper decides to carry out his dead pal's mission himself.
The real power in Santa Maria is held by Borghini, a cunning and vicious man, who wants the arms for the government forces and seeks to destroy the rebel movement.
Caught in the midst of the revolution, Coooper is captured and jailed by the ruthless government junta. The Central American freedom fighters stage a spectacular break-out. Cooper is freed and joins the guerrillas' cause. In a last ditch effort to break the grip of the evil dictatorship and avenge the death of wr-buddy Harry, Cooper leads the freedom fighters in a fiery all-out commando assault on the government forces.
