All over the world crude oil carriers are being hijacked and later returned. Their crews are unharmed but the oil companies need to know what is happening to the ships. Agent Ames Blond is assigned to track the ships and find out what is happening to them and where they go when they disappear. Ames' only lead seems to be through an aging billionaire with ties to both the oil industry and the environmental movement. Ames must follow the leads and use what help he can get. That help comes in the form of the British Special Air Service, a troop of pygmies and a beautiful blond.
