It is Election Day on Samaru, and while Hammersley is winding up her peace keeping duties, it’s also a day that almost sees the death of one of her crew.

The day begins with bloodshed as a boat carrying two United Nations electoral observers – and a load of vote filled ballot boxes - explodes in the face of the Navy crew.

Using evidence provided by Buffer (Jeremy Lindsay Taylor), about the attempt by Ray Walsman (Alan Dale) to have him murdered, the Hammersley team arrests the ex-pat and hands him over to the Samaru police. But because of his crucial evidence, Buffer is a marked man, and among a team of UN observers later taken on board, is one man with murderous intent.

Then Commander Steve Marshall (Steve Bisley) urgently warns Mike (Ian Stenlake) that Walsman has escaped, two policemen are dead, and the major military coup is underway.

It is obvious that the manipulative businessman is masterminding both the coup and an attack on the Presidential palace from a secret location. Quick thinking by Mike sets a trap for Walsman on his new base – a trawler fitted out as a floating command post.

The CO uses Walsman’s abandoned super-boat as a Trojan horse. After a treacherous confrontation that leads to the trawler being overtaken by the Navy, it is Buffer who brings about a savage one-onone face-off with the silver tongued devil who tried to have him killed.
