On a country road in Spain, a policeman attempts to flag down a speeding car, and in the ensuing chase, the car crashes, whereupon the cop discovers that the driver is actually a dummy. Stewart and Jason are already in Spain, so the local authorities turn to them for help.
They realize the car must have been remote controlled, but wonder how and why. Then things literally heat up when the car wreck that was supposed to be taken to the police lab disappears, then explodes and burns out, erasing any possible clues. Annabelle runs research on companies specializing in remote controlled cars and comes up with a company in England. Stewart and Jason check the place out and soon realize something sinister is going on there.
Moreover, they discover a connection with an important NATO meeting, and Sir Curtis has to use his connections so the Department can access classified NATO information. They head back to Spain, where Stewart realizes that the same local authorities who asked for the Department's help are now undermining their investigative efforts. All this leads the detectives into danger and some very explosive situations.
