A surprise female visitor arrives by helicopter to convince a struggling PI, Birdie Kelley, to find the woman's former husband, a coal baron who went looking for the fountain of youth. The search takes them to Hollywood, CA, where the two are tossed into a caldron fueled by a vengeful CIA agent and a rogue ex-Nazi.

In the process, Birdie finds a lab that suspends dead bodies in cold storage for the future, intending to revive aging and dying Nazi war criminals hiding in South America. As Birdie digs deeper, she discovers that her adversary, Shelley, a beautiful South American, carries a terrible secret, a child molded with DNA extracted from Hitler's American nephew. Tracking her to Catalina Island, Birdie learns of Shelley's plans to start a new life. With her Irish stubbornness, Birdie refuses to quit working to stop the potential rise of a new Nazi Germany.
