All happenings start in far-off 1948 at small fishing seashore town Cabo Blanco in a Peruvian province, where a former Nazi Gunther Beckdorff (Jason Robards) got hideaway in a fortress nearby which has its own private army and protected by bribery of the country's Minister, meanwhile an American diver Lewis Clarkson (Simon MacCorkindale) is looking around on deep waters a sunk vessel Brittany, whereof a local legend implies over a supposed treasure gold inside.
The matter lays out where the exact point of Brittany sunk, all become upside down when reach there the gorgeous French Marie Allesandri (Dominique Sanda) looking for his missing husband, at once getting shelter of Giff Hoyt (Charles Bronson), in meantime the corrupt Police Officer Torredo (Fernando Rey) that rules the place with heavy hands hol her passport at behest of Beckdorff, Giff intervenes to the aid of Marie hinting a mutual romance interest, in fact all characters actually aiming for get a clue where the Brittany's treasure is located.
Cabo Blanco despite takes place post WWII is an unashamedly rip-off of the unforgettable classic Casablanca, including in the name as benchmark, several elements assure such statement, Giff's seashore bar, it sounds like Rick's bar, Police Officer Terredo ruling the spot is very analog as Captain Louis Renault played by Claude Rains an ambiguous character, the beauty French Marie Allesandri means the femme figure of IIsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman) just named a few happenstances on storyline, it ain't so bad after all!!
