When she uncovers him, the two develop feelings for each other, and Mike offers to fly her back to Mexico City. After their plane crashes in the jungle, they are rescued by an Englishman named Browne (Howard), who seems very hospitable at first but harbors a dark secret: he is traitor wanted for having collaborated with the Nazis, and his companions are Nazi war criminals.

Mike's Designated Bullet that acts as his #1 Dime. During the climax, he pushes the cartridge though a bullet hole in a door and then fires it by hitting the primer with a nail and a rock. It goes off and kills Browne on the other side of the door.

#1 Dime: Latimer keeps a rifle cartridge as a lucky piece. During World War II an enemy soldier had him at gunpoint but the gun misfired. He took out the soldier and kept the bullet because it "... had his name on it."

Argentina Is Nazi-Land: Browne, an English traitor who broadcast propaganda for the Nazis during the war; his brother-in-law, Nazi war criminal Colonel Von Andre; and their Luftwaffe pilot Jan are hiding in an old hacienda in Central America. Mostly they are just hiding from justice, although Von Andre harbours hopes of one day returning to Germany.
