Max "The
King of Alibis" Burdett and his beautiful
accomplice Lola have come to Paradise Island in
the Bahamas, fresh off their final big score in
which they lifted the second of the three famous
Napoleon diamonds. With their financial future set,
the couple is ready to relax and enjoy their hard
earned riches. But Stan, the FBI agent who has spent
years in dogged but failed pursuit of Max, refuses
to believe that his nemesis is actually calling
it quits. He thinks that Max and Lola are actually
plotting to steal the third Napoleon diamond one
of the three largest non-flawed diamonds in the
world which is coincidentally scheduled to arrive
on Paradise Island as part of a touring cruise ship
exhibition. Since he has no jurisdiction in the
Caribbean country, Stan teams with a local cop and
sets out to catch the sly Max and Lola in the act,
while at the same time a local gangster has his
own plans for the diamond. When the longtime adversaries
meet up in paradise, Max quickly turns the tables
and befriends the frustrated detective, showing
him that Paradise Island has no shortage of pleasures
to offer. But in order for Stan to figure out exactly
what Max and Lola are up to, he will have to navigate
all the twists and double-crosses of an action-packed
story of friendship, suspicion and thievery.
