Synopsis

The little Caribbean republic of Hondo-Rica, beset with financial problems, is also being threatened by revolutionist Maximo Toro. First Minister Henri Degiere, in New York City to raise funds for Hondo-Rica's proposed sugar by-products program, is notified that Toro has enticed his daughter, Françoise, to the revolutionist's camp and is holding her for a ransom of rifles. Degiere returns and sets out to pretend to deliver the rifles, thereby finding Toro's hideout. When this strategy fails, help arrives from New York, and, according to a plan suggested by the Hondo-Rican women, a task force led by American oil millionaire Axel "Longhorn" Gates, consisting of 26 pink jeeps filled with food, wine, and women, "invades" Toro's camp. The women charm everyone, including Toro, and they all return to town. All ends well as Hondo-Rica acquires the aid to develop its sugar program.
