Description

A weary secret‑service officer takes a brief escape to a quiet Central American shore, only to be drawn into a mystery when a dying beachcomber whispers of a hidden fortune. The cryptic clue he receives points toward a remote Pacific isle, promising adventure far beyond a simple vacation.

Teaming up with a flamboyant millionaire and his spirited daughter, the agent sets sail for Cock Island, where the legendary Man with the Clubfoot—once thought dead—has already begun his own hunt. Both men possess pieces of a vital cipher, and each believes the other is unaware of a crucial secret that could unlock the treasure’s location. As rival schemes clash beneath swaying palms and moonlit seas, the stakes rise, and the chase becomes a thrilling race against time and treachery.
