Summary
A nightclub owner joins forces with an American hoodlum and former
officer in the German navy to try to recover a lost Nazi treasure,
which was sunk in the Mediterranean Sea towards the end of WWII.
The booty consists of a fantastic quantity of diamonds and a number of
compromising secret documents which expose several onetime Nazi
sympathisers. Locating this treasure is one thing.
Profiting from its recovery is an entirely different matter...
