An American tourist in South America finds love and unexpected trouble. The next to last film for child star Bobby Breen. Wealthy playboy Richard Fleming arrives in Rosarita on a business and pleasure cruise. In order to escape the amorous clutches of pushy Penelope, he hops on a motorcycle-propelled taxi cart driven by boy singer Roberto Ramos. Roberto is saving his pesos to buy a real taxicab. He speeds Mr. Flemming to the "best hotel in South America" where he encounters pretty Senorita Juanita. Her father, Don Miguel, has a successful tea plantation. But both the business and the daughter are threatened by conniving Alexander Komac.
