The prize is 30,000 tons of gold once hidden by Ghengis Khan and later re-hidden by Chaing Kai-shek. The clues for its whereabouts have resurfaced and the hunt is on. America wants to get it but also wants to make sure Russia does not. Russia would prefer no one find it because it would destroy the price of gold, making their own stockpile much lower in value. Andrew Pitman and his wife Alexis are thrown into the problem and might even be able to come out of it alive.
