"James Ziegler" (Carlo Mucari) is a young man who likes to live dangerously and as a result decides to blackmail a rich and influential mobster for approximately $2 million in diamonds. Upon receiving the payment he then double-crosses them and flies to Mexico to see his brother "David Ziegler" (Treat Williams) who lives on a beach near shark-infested waters. Unfortunately, as soon as James arrives in Mexico he is murdered and the mob subsequently targets David who they believe now possesses the disk that implicates them in criminal activity. And these mobsters are more than willing to kill everybody associated with David to get what they want. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this wasn't a great movie by any means and could have been better if it had a bit more depth or attention to detail. For example, in one specific scene a bomb was placed on a boat but it didn't show who actually put it there. So for a moment it inadvertently appeared that David's loyal friend "Paco" (Antonio Fargas) and possibly the village priest "Father Mattia" (Christopher Connelly) were the guilty parties. Likewise, a couple of the conversations involving Father Mattia were almost inaudible as well. Even so, it was still entertaining to a certain degree and because of that I rate it as just slightly below average.
