[2][3] Errol Flynn leaves his house on Mulholland Drive by helicopter captained by Paul Mantz and goes to the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
He goes on board the Zaca and visits San Benito Island off the west coast of Baja California, home to a number of rare endemic plant and animal species, the Panama Canal and Jamaica.
On board were Flynn, his father, his wife Nora, and John Decker, Howard Hill, Professor Carl Hubbs, Charles Gross and Jerry Corneya.
Before going through the Canal Flynn stayed in Acapulco, where the Zaca had been hired to appear in location shooting during 1946 for The Lady from Shanghai (1948).
