A bumbling American smuggler inadvertently involves a beautiful woman from the World Health Organization in his mounting list of problems when a bag containing millions worth of opium is substituted for his at a train station. After a corpse appears in his hotel room, police, drug dealers and a motley crew of thugs pursue them in a cross-country dash to the ashram of his partner, an eccentric guru who invented an herbal cure for hemorrhoids, worth more than the opium.
