Your unit is drawing too much power for one of the components which is touching the plug. That's why it is too hot. The fact that the wire doesn't get hot but the plug does tells me that the plug itself may be defective. Or maybe the outlet is defective, or under-rated for the amount of power being drawn. The extension cord is not adequate for the amount of current being drawn; that's why the extension cord is getting hot.
Whatever you do, make sure that you have the correct size breaker for the electrical circuit. This should prevent an electrical fire from starting.
-In these cases, I ALWAYS get a professional electrician involved. You need to make sure that EVERYTHING involved her is up to the task and not defective: wiring, outlet, plug, a/c unit, circuit breaker, etc etc. The last thing you want is some defective component starting an electrical fire.
