Swindled out of his inheritance by his evil uncle, Jean-Paul (Cornel Wilde) absconds to Guatemala to find his fortune. Joining the Frenchman on his adventure is Scottish treasure-hunter MacDougal and his beautiful daughter, Clara (Constance Smith). Cutting a path through dense, sweltering jungle, the trio seeks out the fabled golden condor. Finding the riches will help Jean-Paul reclaim his birthright, but doing so will mean braving the untold dangers of Maya Land.
