When an oil company's derrick errupts into flames, a group of outlaws and an American mobster are put in charge of transporting the nitroglycerin that will be used to snuff out the fire, over the rough terrain of a South American jungle.

As they ferry their explosive cargo to a faraway oil fire, each bump and jolt tests their courage, their friendship, and their nerves"--Container.
