In the Venezuelan jungle, in 1957, Treasure hunter, JACK RIVERS (34) locates gold treasure with the help of a Pemón guide. She betrays Jack by allowing warriors to attack him. Jack manages to escape with the help of pilot, YURI PETROV (?).
Later, Jack laments to his business partner, RICARDO “BIG RICH” MUNOZ (38) that they have not made enough money from their previous job to pay off their debts. The pair are set on finding Montezuma’s treasure, but they don’t know where it might be located.
One day, Jack saves a dog, ACE (?), from being abused. While rescuing her, Jack finds a mysterious pole with Aztec writing on it. Big Rich takes the pole to PROFESSOR DELGADO (45), who translates the artifact. This helps Big Rich and Jack narrow down the location of Montezuma’s treasure slightly.
Meanwhile, Professor Delgado calls DON DIEGO ORTIZ (50s), a politician who has agreed to fund FIDEL CASTRO (31). Ortiz approaches Jack and Big Rich. Ortiz offers to fund their work.
Elsewhere, Yuri overhears PEPE (60s), Big Rich’s uncle, brag in a bar about finding portions of Montezuma’s treasure. Yuri and MARIO MERCADO (?) kidnap Pepe and torture him for information. Mario, who secretly works...
