When their private plane crash-lands in a South American jungle, a beautiful reporter (Jane Greer) and a broodingly recluse author (Richard Widmark) stumble into the hide-out of a German war criminal. Reporter and author soon find themselves the human targets in a hunt organized by the wanted ex-Nazi (Peter Van Eyck) and his traitorous friend (Trevor Howard).
