...against another attack by Israel had merely spurred the flow of contraband weapons that have been filtering quietly into refugee camps on both sides of the Jordan River. Jordanian troops uncovered one huge arms cache in Hebron and, after a blazing gunfight that left one policeman dead, intercepted another truckload of weapons heading into Nablus. At an anti-Hussein demonstration in Damascus, Syrian Chief of State Noureddin Attassi promised Jordanians all the weapons they needed-not to fight Israel, but to overthrow Hussein.

Endowed with a schizophrenia of its own, the whole movie suggests a three-way split between sophisticated sex farce, straightforward suspense, and a spy caper so whimsical that Rock and Claudia are finally sent, along with a truckload of store dummies clad in underwear, to right wrongs in a swampy Southern backwater identified as "the goose capital of America." There, with shotguns blazing and red-eyed alligators slithering toward Claudia's thighs, the whole flight of fancy turns out to be a wild-goose chase...
