From the Introduction in the rulebook:

Our hero, Lt. Col. Ollie North, USMC ret., is being subjected to a blatantly unfair trial by those leftist-commie-liberals. Your mission, should you choose to accept it is to...

RESCUE OLLIE NORTH!!!!!!!

In this solitaire game, you will attempt to rescue a true, red-blooded, AMERICAN hero. To do this, you must burst through the courtroom doors, blast the bailiffs, blow away those liberal/commie bystanders, and take Ollie out the door marked "EXIT" in as few turns as possible.
