- MacGyver rescues a friend's young brother in Chinatown who is mixed up with some scam artists presenting him as the Wish Child, a legendary mystical Chinese boy.
- In Santa Monica, a sunny paradise for the Minnesota boy, Mac accepts to get his martial arts sparring partner Lisa's 14 year-old brother Paul Chan. Only a Macgyverism gets him access to the Chinatown establishment where scientist Dr. Shen Wei is authenticating the teenager as the legendary Wish Child, so Shen can advise the Hong Kong magnate Lee Wenying that Paul is the real one; Lee pays crime baron Ston's finder's fee. Mac is knocked down and can barely escape from Lee's cargo freighter, before learning from petty crook Sam and Dr. Shen enough to go after the boy, whose presence would allow the aging Lee to survive his life-span, reason to keep the kid captured, but Mac is determined to rescue him...—KGF Vissers
- In Santa Monica, Mac agrees to pick up Paul Chan, his martial arts sparring partner Lisa's 14-year-old brother. She is on her way to Oakland to talk with someone who might fund the business she wants to open. Mac goes to Chinatown to find him but is turned away at the door of where he is supposed to be. Macgyver dreams up a way to get access to the establishment - he uses a remote-control car under a small dragon streamer to distract the watchman. Inside, scientist Dr. Shen Wei is authenticating Paul as the legendary Wish Child, so Shen can advise the Hong Kong magnate Lee Wenying that he is indeed the genuine article. Of course, this is a scam devised by local conman Ston. Paul has been carefully trained to pass the test by making a special stone turn into a block with the Wish Child's symbol. Lee pays Ston's finder's fee. Mac is knocked down and imprisoned in a crate of fireworks bound for New Zealand. He improvises a shaped charge to blast his way out. He then talks to his friend, the street vendor Sam, who suggests he find Dr. Shen at the museum. Shen is shot from behind a curtain, living just long enough to reveal that Paul is aboard Lee's huge freighter. The aging Lee hopes that the Wish Child can extend his lifespan. Mac disguises himself as a dock worker to board the ship and get to the ceremonial room where Paul is held. A fire extinguisher provides a fog to momentarily capture Lee's attention when he comes to check on him. Mac and Paul dash off the ship as Lee pursues them. Lee suffers a heart attack and falls into cargo nets alongside the boarding ramp.—Garon Smith
