Miracles

The witchdoctor Kayum, drunk and deranged, mutters an omen that unleashes a massive thunderstorm in the jungle. The storm's power is suggested to reach far beyond the rainforest, even affecting events in New York. This opening chaos foreshadows the film’s cross‑continent misadventures.

Lightning and flickering power interrupt Roger Briggs' operating room as he treats a patient. Despite the chaotic weather, he manages to complete the surgery, proving his professional skill under duress. The weather's reach hints at the film's magical or fate-driven interference.

Jean revels in her emancipation at a party, enjoying life after leaving her wealthy husband. She basks in the party's carefree atmosphere while the world outside remains unsettled. This moment contrasts with the danger looming later.

A robbery goes wrong, sending Jean's car crashing toward a window shop and leaving Roger's car barely operable. Amid the chaos, Jean climbs into Roger's car and the pair are forcibly captured by the robber Juan. Their fateful ride becomes a captivity that drives the plot forward.

Juan binds Jean and Roger and imprisons them in a closet, isolating them from the outside world. Inside, they bicker and plot, while the rest of the nest erupts in arguments. They begin a tense game of survival and planned escape.

Jean and Roger push through a door and into another room, only to be confronted by a hidden police officer. A firefight erupts, and the chaos gives Juan the chance to recapture them and drive off again. The pursuit reinforces the film's pulpy, turbocharged energy.

Gunfire erupts as the police close in, and Juan keeps abducting Jean and Roger again, forcing them to keep moving in their car. The chase becomes a perpetual back-and-forth between captors and law enforcement. The couple's arguments and irritation persist even amid danger.

A nearby street scene coincides with the police pursuit when a prostitute's broken heel causes a police car to swerve and crash into a bank. A bank robber duo is finally stopped, and a cash machine spills money onto a tramp, creating a surreal moment of fortune in the chaos. The event briefly intersects with the main chase.

Harry prepares a rusty plane; Juan and the others hijack it as Jean and Roger cling to survival. They board the aircraft in a disheveled struggle, and the plane becomes their volatile escape route from the city’s pursuit. The situation intensifies as gunfire echoes below.

The old plane falters as Roger tries to maneuver, and engines die while the group fights to avoid a fatal collision with terrain. A rockfall triggers a landslide that reshapes their path and forces a crash in the desert. Jean and Roger survive the wreck and press on into unfamiliar land.

The survivors are found by Mexican police and brought to a town station where they await embassy help. They are kept in a cell and told they will be freed by week's end if the embassy verifies their backgrounds. The couple reflects on their relationship and the past that led them here.

Juan and Harry discover a chance to break through and blow a prison wall, freeing themselves and abducting Jean and Roger once more. They flee aboard a derelict boat as pursuing police close in, turning the shore town into a chase zone. The voyage becomes a race for survival.

A storm-tossed voyage leaves the group drenched and exhausted. Amid the spray and danger, Jean and Roger find a moment of reconciliation and kiss, their romance briefly revived by the shared peril. The boat drifts toward an uncertain horizon plus new danger.

The derelict boat reaches shore, and Jean is rescued by sailors while Roger is found by a jungle missionary. Using his surgical tools, Roger assists with emergency surgery on the sick girl at a mission site until a helicopter arrives to evacuate her to a hospital. The mission setting frames the film’s return to healing.

Roger finally reaches the jungle and tends the sick girl with help from the mission. Jean awaits news as the couple survives the ordeal, sharing a kiss and deciding to marry again a few days later. The story ends on a note of renewed commitment and hopeful closure.
