He manages to steal a large amount of weapon blueprints but gets caught trying to escape, and only narrowly gets out alive. The enemy, however, took the blueprints away, and he can only remember what they were like. One day, when at home, Dave is attacked by a North Korean agent who has come to kill him because he knows all the plans of North Korea, and only just survives. There is a fight scene here that takes place on the rooftops of a city. The Koreans hire another assassin, but Dave manages to escape again. A ninja is then sent to take Dave, and he wakes up in North Korea, as a prisoner. He breaks out of the prison with agent Scarlet Edwards, a fellow prisoner of war and old friend, but they can't leave North Korea without being found by the enemy. They are chased many times through the streets of North Korea, and then arrange to fly out of the country, and there is a final fight scene at the end and they narrowly escape on the plane. When they touch down in the USA, they tell the USA of the Koreans' plans to use their nukes, and they manage to stop a huge missile attack from destroying North America. Dave Johnson and Scarlet Edwards are together again after years apart and they are awarded many awards for their brave work.
