Ambassador at Large

A drama about President Tomas Medina-Colon, a bloody tyrant, who rules the imaginary Latin American country of Pais del Sol with an iron fist. Arrayed against him is fiery Danilo Diaz, a rebel leader who mouths sentiments of democracy and freedom. When Diaz seeks political asylum at the U.S. Embassy, Colin Ryan must weigh his potential. Medina-Colon threatens to close the embassy. Elias, Ryan's assistant, learns that if Diaz replaced Medina-Colon, he too would be a tyrant. At the execution of five revolutionaries, Diaz pleads for help from the Americans. Ryan orders that Diaz be gotten out of the country so he will not become a martyr. Later they learn that the security forces killed Diaz.
