Miguel and Tulio are two Spanish con men who crave for gold and glory. They soon (by accident) stumble into El Dorado, the lost city of gold, where the natives mistake them for gods. They soon hook up with the beautiful native Chel, also a con artist. But will an insane high priest keep them from leaving El Dorado for Spain to live as rich men for the rest of their lives?
