A piece of Comic Literature by Donald Westlake. Dancing Aztecs follows 70's petty crook Jerry Mianelli, a small time crook who is hired to bring a crate of copies of the priceless Dancing Aztec statue out of an airport before they go through customs (one of the statues has been replaced with the real one). Due to receiving instructions in the Spanish alphabet, Jerry takes the wrong crate. Seeing the panicked reactions of his employers, he figures out what is going on and, aided by his three brothers-in-law, sets out to steal the real statue for himself. Unfortunately, it turns out that the sixteen statues were given out as prizes to the Open Sports Committee, a minor Civil Rights group that recently succeeded in their goal of bringing a squash court to Harlem. Jerry and his partners, Jerry's clients, and Wally (a swimming pool salesman having an affair with one of Jerry's sisters who stumbles across their plan) all scramble to try and find and test (via breaking) the sixteen statues to find the real one.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Hilarity Ensues.The story is well-known for capturing the feel of the seventies (mixing satire and faint social commentary), and for its constantly shifting style of narration and prose, brilliantly capturing the mood of whatever character is receiving the most focus at the time.
