 Rico (Rodolfo Hoyos), a South American diver, seeking the lost treasure of the Paracas, finds a Paracan idol, with its eyes of sun and moon, and realizes he has found the key to a fortune. He tells Manco (Nico Minardos), the sweetheart of his daughter Pele (Pita Louis), and the greedy Manco cuts the lifeline to Rico s diving gear and watches the old man sink to the ocean floor. The idol, with both eyes now missing, comes into the hands of TV star Roger Bristol (James Craig), who, with his son Robin (Lowell Brown) and secretary Anne Stevens (Audrey Totter), sets out to find the lost treasure.
