In San Francisco, Michael and KITT are alerted when a murderer with ties to the Foundation's past escapes from jail in an armored car that appears to drive itself. The mission forces Michael to enlist the help of an old friend who might hold the key to breaking down the drone car's complex CPU.
In the meantime, Michael must face radio-controlled robots and the martial-artist bodyguards of Chinatown criminal Margo Sheridan, who sells secrets to the highest bidder.
