Synopsis
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...
