Jean-Paul Belmondo becomes an unlikely hero after his fiance is kidnapped while on leave in Paris. She has knowledge of the location of a statue in the Amazon needed to find a buried treasure. Belmondo follows them to Rio and eventually rescues her. They go after the statue themselves, but she is kidnapped again and more chases by car, boat and plane ensue. Fast paced film is more Indiana Jones than James Bond, and very, very dated.
