Captain Gringo - riding hard for girls and glory on the jungle trails of Costa Rica!
It's cherchez la femme, or 'hunt the lady' as Captain Gringo hits the hot tropical trails of Costa Rica in search of a seductive heiress kidnapped by forces unknown. Of course, war; like love, is never a simple affair for the Captain. Before long, the redoubtable Renegade finds himself leading a guerilla army hell-bent to liberate neighboring Nicaragua, as he battles treachery from within and savagery from without. In an even greater challenge to his famous powers of endurance, he turns up more love-starved senoritas than he bargained for; amid the slashings of machetes and the rattling roar of his ever-ready Maxim!
