Fed up with dead-end jobs that pay them pennies, a foursome of amateur thieves (James Brolin, Bruce Davison, Chick Vennera and Cleavon Little) plots to pull off a profitable crime: ripping off a South American drug lord and leaving the country with $5 million in cash. Along the way they cross paths with a quirky band of revolutionaries (led by Anthony Quinn) and a beautiful woman (Lindsay Wagner) who needs their help.
