Plot
Three robbers, Lylle Corbett, Dolph Kostis, and Darlene, steal one million dollars from a shipment on its way to the United States. But instead of sharing the loot with Lylle, Dolph decides to kill him without Darlene's (who likes them both) knowledge. When returning to Darlene (his wife) at the Hotel Americano's, Dolph informs her that Lylle is out of the picture and that she should forget about him. Before Dolph's return, Darelene was visited by hotel manager Livio Morelli, requesting her to turn down the volume on her radio. Spotting a one-thousand-dollar bill under the edge of the bed, Livio quickly concluded that they are the robbers he heard about on the radio.
Dolph and Darlene make a get-away on a rental boat. They are unaware that the hotel manager's innocent looking sister, Sandra, is in the back of the boat and has planted a bomb to kill the pair.
