However, the circumstances take a turn when the Iraqis agree to let the Americans send legal representatives to defend the surviving soldier and Rabb and Austin are deployed to handle the case. They then learn that an Iraqi CIA operative named "Scimitar" might be able to help them spirit away the soldier before his predetermined passing sentence is carried out. But first the two must figure out which Iraqi Scimitar really is.

JAG Show Summary

After being diagnosed with night blindness, Lt. Cmdr. Harmon Rabb, an F-14 Tomcat fighter pilot, is forced to change careers. Cmdr. Rabb chooses to join the Navy's Judge Advocate General (JAG) Corps. There he both defends and sometimes prosecutes Navy and Marine Corps defendants. He is sometimes assisted by fellow lawyer, Lt. Sarah "Mac" MacKenzie, and his other fellow JAG staff.

Many of Rabb's cases require him to both keep up his F-14 qualifications and travel the world, in order to bring justice to the cases he is trying.

Rabb must also deal with the fact that his father, also a former Navy pilot, never returned home after being held prisoner after he was shot down in North Vietnam. Rabb believing his father is still alive continues the search he has pursued to find his father, since his teens.
