The hunt is on for a valuable statue in this comic crime thriller from тАЬthe funniest man in the worldтАЭ (The Washington Post).
┬аA small South American republic has decided to capitalize on its national symbol: a prized gold statue of a dancing Aztec priest. The president asks a sculptor to make sixteen copies of it for sale abroad. The sculptor replaces the original with one of his fakes, and ships the real one to New York City for an under-the-table sale to a museum. The statues travel to America spread out among five crates, labeled to ensure that delivery goes as planned. But it doesnтАЩt work.┬аAsked to pick up the crate marked тАЬEтАЭ at the airport, delivery man Jerry Manelli, confused by his clientтАЩs Spanish accent, takes crate тАЬAтАЭ instead. The statue disappears into the city, leading him on a baffling chase, whichтАФif he comes up with the wrong AztecтАФcould cost him his life.
