[edit] Plot
A pair of hillbillies, Royko and Paul, go to visit Murdock at the VA hospital. When they get to his room, Royko produces a sawed-off shotgun to blast open the door, and kidnap Murdock. Royko and Paul, along with an Indian companion, drive off in a pickup truck with Murdock as their hostage. The two, along with the Indian, drive upstate and arrive at the house of their bounty hunter father, Darrow, who decides to use Murdock as bait to capature the much sought-after A-Team. When Face hears of the kidnapping, he goes to the hospital, only to learn that the military police have been alerted, and he barely manages to escape Colonel Decker. The A-Team goes north to rescue Murdock, but Murdock escapes and a three-way pursuit ensues between the A-Team, the bounty hunters, and Decker. Murdock finds shelter with a small-town veterinarian, Kelly Stevens. He tries to contact the A-Team, but as the two wait for their arrival, Murdock and Kelly begin falling in love. Murdock eventually reunites with the team, and calls Kelly to reassure her he is alright. Kelly is taken hostage by Darrow and his boys, and Murdock leads the team to come to her rescue.
