  This movie is based on a novel by Simo Penttilä and tells about the adventures of Finnish-born General T.J.A. Heikkilä and his loyal companions in Central and South America in the imaginary country of Sierranueva. A bit of shooting, some beautiful women, 'exotic' sceneries, revolutions and lots of jokes one really don't translate into English.
