The Jivaro Indians, who dwell in the Peruvian forests on the banks of the Rio Napo, conceal a secret that is coveted by many: curaro. The research conducted by scientists from a number of countries triggers an undercurrent of stealthy struggle among the pharmaceutical multinationals, eager to secure for themselves wealth and power. But the Jivaros have no intention of revealing their secret to anyone… The first to come to grief over this is Professor Perez, killed by head hunters. Mister No and Esse-Esse set out on his tracks, acting as guides for Professor Maldonado, who has come from Saõ Paulo, but also for ruthless mercenaries, in the pay of corrupt professor Johnson…
