A convoluted mess of an adventure, this silly TV movie deals with the hunt for Nazi treasure where they don't do any hunting. Kiel Martin stars as the heir to his grandfather's ship which is broken into and robbed immediately after he takes over, finding himself in danger, even beating up over the large medallion his grandfather left him as well. Ralph Bellamy takes over as Captain, Jack Kruschen is the crew member and Anne Archer is the young woman who may or may not be in cahoots with the thieves, led by Glenn Corbett.
Some nice location footage with scenes in Mazatlan where a festival is taking place leads to Archer's kidnapping and further adventure. Even with the exotic location footage, there's a cheapness to this production and a silliness to it that had me laughing where laughs were not intended. The ridiculous posing of a portly bodybuilder on parade just seem to be a waste of camera footage, although this Tor Johnson lookalike does have a purpose of being there. Poor Ralph Bellamy looked exhausted running through the streets of Mazatlan to find this man who has a map tattooed on his chest that wasn't visible before. Martin's character of Christopher Sand ain't no Indiana Jones.
