Spanish Sands

Andy Barquet has been saving his money for a long-awaited backpacking trip to the Mediterranean. He plans to visit locations his father saw when he was a young man in the Navy. Before he leaves Panama City, he rescues a young woman from the Gulf of Mexico in a potential drowning situation. He thinks he will never see her or her two shallow girlfriends again. To his amazement, they board the same flight to Europe a few days later. Coincidentally, all of them plan to visit many of the same countries. As travelers sometimes do, they throw their lots in together. Andy is bewitched by Lucia's white-blonde look and the attraction, though not instantaneous on her part, soon develops into physical passion between the two. Andy is vexed by her lack of goals in life and how she is too easily led into dangerous situations by her careless friends, While in Tangiers, Andy finds out all too quickly how an impetuous act by Lucia puts both of them in peril.
