One day a young man, Mac (Daniel Jenkins), recently from college shows up and enters into a poker game with Lucky.

As time goes on, a political prisoner from Cuba, called Carlos (Raul Julia), lands in Miami.

Carlos eventually meets Lucky and Mac and persuades them to use their boat White Witch to take him back to Cuba.

Carlos has two reasons to return to Cuba, a lost lady love (Ilka Tanya Payán) whom he thinks is still waiting for him after twenty years and a crate of gold coins he parachuted from the DC-3 just before he bailed out of the aircraft in 1961.

The three end up in Cuba and face a band of rebels led by "El Gato Negro" (Antonio Fargas).
