Synopsis

Thompson is an entrepreneur who starts a tourist travel agency on the Iberian coast. He suffered a price struggle with the rival company; however, he managed to board a group of curious people on his tourist trip. Among them are the beautiful American Alice Lindsay, who travels with her sister Dolly, Jack, the brother of Alice's ex-husband, and the mysterious Saunders. During the trip, Jack tries to conquer his sister-in-law, as he wants the money his brother left in inheritance. However, the perifecies of the journey cause Roberto, the translator and the coroner of the journey, to fall in love with her and create a strong rivalry between Jack and him, to the extent that Jack wants the death of one and the other. The ship rented by the avaro Thompson, the "Seamew," turns out to be an old shell that can't stand all the way, which leads it to shackle on the African coast, and that forces tourists to reach out to cannibals and be attacked by bandits, a situation that gets worse with the apparent death of the translator, the only one who seems to have cold blood in the face of such hardships.
