Just prior to World War II, a young piano virtuoso escapes from Europe after avenging his father's murder by a Polish nobleman for daring to question his decision to send his son to the army as a conscript in place of his own son. George stows away on a freighter bound for Cuba, where he ends up playing the piano for customers in a whorehouse.
One of these customers, a cashiered expatriate Polish Army colonel, is attracted to him when he hears George play Chpin better than he had heard it played in the best concert halls of Europe. They quickly band together and Vladek teaches George everything about becoming a professional soldier and together they form a great team of soldiers of fortune, plying their services all over Central and South America.
When Vlad dies of malaria while in Panama to secure a new contract, Geoege continues working in his acquired trade until he moves to Miami Beach a few years later and earning a good living by smuggling weapons to many of his old clients.
As luck would have it, George uncovers a huge stash of counterfeit American money, and together with a Miami detective who catches him with the bogus money, they are able to exchange it with real money hidden in safes at the Bank of Cuba by wealthy cubans who feared that Castro was about to take the country over.
Once their caper is successful, George and Luis, the detective, part to pursue their individual dreams.
