When three 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 two 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.
