But an SOS from a downed plane that's sinking fast leads him straight to disaster....Coquelin springs a trap. Stranding Johnny and the plane's passengers on a deserted island, the drug smuggler commandeers Johnny's boat and his name. In the company of a weak-kneed millionaire and a long-legged beauty, Johnny's at the end of his rope—which could turn into a noose around his neck.
