What it’s about. Nach einem spektakulären Raubzug in einer brasilianischen Smaragdmine versenken die Diebe um den Juwelenräuber Lasky die erbeuteten Steine in einem See. Sie quartieren sich in einem Hotel am See ein und wollen abwarten bis sich die Lage beruhigt hat und die kostbare Beute nach zwei Monaten bergen, um sie unter sich aufzuteilen. Paul Diller, Auftraggeber und Kopf der Bande, misstraut seinen Komplizen allerdings und setzt ohne ihr Wissen dutzende von Piranhas in dem See aus, um die wertvolle Beute vor ihrem Zugriff zu schützen.
