When 3 old friends enjoy a rare re-union, they find that one of them was involved in the discovery of a large amount of precious stones and metal in a war torn Central African country decades ago. At the time it had proven wise to hide the goods in the jungle. Because of the chronic and current financial predicament of 2 of them, they plan the recovery of these spoils of war. A modern treasure hunt ensues describing how the unlikely treasure-hunting trio embark on the adventure of a lifetime to find this valuable cargo, and then contrive to transport it by river, land and sea using two amphibious gyro copters.
