In this fun ride of an African adventure, an American undercover agent for Interpol meets a lady reporter who desperately needs to leave town in the bar he frequently stakes out looking for illegal enterprises. She has proof the local police are indulging in the profitable slave trade and they plan to incarcerate her in a place cockroaches die on trumped up charges. The local airlines are all booked up, but the covert agent tells her he can offer her a quick way out. To give her a sense of security he gives her a native's Juju bag he promises will keep her free from harm. But when he is falsely accused of murder, rather than admitting just who he is, he flees taking the lady with him.
The two navigate south to an abandoned Botswana mine in search of a missing friend of the agent who wrote he's there planning on pilfering an incredible stash of diamonds. Though initially the lady has a deep-seeded distrust of all men, their unlikely adventures together include exploring the mine only to discover it harbors a terrible secret, finding out how Hitler escaped retribution in the closing days of the war-leaving behind a double found later in his Germany bunker, and when all exits to the mine are blocked due to cave-ins, the two must confront an ancient demon determined to cremate them as they try to escape its lair. When the lady complains that the juju only works marginally, the larcenist tending agent reveals what the bag she carries really contains-and it isn't magic. Still, the chaotic events the two have endured has tempered he lady's resolve that all men are cads and she admits there may be exceptions to every rule.
