Summaries

Small-time arms dealer Eddie Muntz visits South America to sell weapons to the revolutionaries and winds up negotiating the sale of an experimental plane to the nation's dictator.

Arms dealers from several companies vie to sell the most expensive and highest tech weapons to a South American dictator. There are complications; understanding the exact nature of how 'gifts' are used to grease the wheels of a sale, a religious conversion from one of the salesman and a romance that begins to grow between two competitors, not to mention the imminient financial collapse of one of the companies if they don't make this sale.—John Vogel <[email protected]>
