Jody (Johnnie Whitaker) cannot understand why his new friend Johnnie (Radames Pera) is not allowed to play outside by the woman who identifies herself as Johnnie's mom Elena (Sarita Vara). Uncle Bill (Brian Keith) is similarly confused by Elena's furtive, secretive nature, and by the fact that the ordinary-looking Johnnie behaves in a manner that suggests that he is a child of wealth and prestige. As it turns out, the Davis family has inadvertenly become embroiled in international intrigue: Elena is not Johnnie's mother, and "Johnnie" is actually Juan--the son of a Caribbean president whose government has just been toppled by a military coup! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
