Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Claudia Cardinale is Popsy, who double-crosses her older partner Silva (Stanley Baker). Silva has arranged to divert diamonds from a large corporate-run diamond mine in the South American jungle, and Popsy does her “pop” wrong as they are both pursued by police.

“She'd do anything to help them with the heist... and then everything to keep the haul for her own little beautiful self!”
