After interrupting a burglary of his Corpus Christi townhouse, Jesus Valdez and his business partner David Price are off on a whirl wind chase to recover the priceless heirloom the thief has managed to get away with. Things go from bad to worse for the pair when, in Rio, they find themselves the target of thugs, and the objects of the romantic affection of two American women 'doing Rio'. Will the burglar show up in Rio, as Jesus believes? Will true love bloom between the adventurers and the women they meet at the Red Dog Saloon? And what role does the supposed Treasure of the 'Centenario De Oro' play in the chase?
