Captain Yankee and his friend make a living by selling fake adventure dreams to rich foreigners. With the help of some natives, they let their rich clients think they have lived fantastic adventures. One day, a Colombian museum director arrives to search for a fabulous "ruby of doom," and Captain Yankee is blackmailed into accepting the task.
In a retrospective review, Jeremy Wheeler (AllMovie) described the film as "Raiders of the Lost Ark rip-off that did its homework," noting that it directly stole dialogue and scenes from the film, including the snake pit scene and a kidnapping in an open market with laundry baskets. The review concluded to not "expect much else from this cheap Italian knock-off."[2]
