Synopsis
Greed is bad, this simple morality tale cautions. A megalomaniacal C.E.O. sends his son into the
dangerous African Congo on a quest for a source of diamonds large enough and pure enough to
function as powerful laser communications transmitters (or is it laser weapons?). When contact is lost
with his son and the team, his sometime daughter- in-law is sent after them. She is a former CIA
operative and, accompanied by gee-whiz gadgetry and a few eccentric characters (including a
mercenary, a researcher with a talking gorilla, and a a nutty Indiana-Jones-type looking for King
Solomon's Mines), sets out to rescue her former fiance. What they all discover is that often what we
most want turns out to be the source of our downfall
