    • An eight-day pass, a kidnapping, and a greedy group of South American Indians provide the basic ingredients of this madcap adventure. A French soldier has the pass and plans to use it to see his girlfriend in Paris. He gets there just in time to see a gang of South American Indians kidnapping her. He follows them to the Brazilian city in construction, jungle and many riotous adventures.
