When he learns that Helen is having an affair, he uses his equipment to monitor her activities. Meanwhile, Tasker is on the trail of Middle Eastern terrorist Salim Abu Aziz (Art Malik) who has formed a terrorist network, "Crimson Jihad." They are threatening to nuke the U.S. Now, Harry must stop the terrorists and save his marriage in the process. This film is filled with exciting action as Harry and Gib (Tom Arnold) fight the terrorists; even Helen gets into the act of saving the world in this very funny spoof of adventure films.
