Synopsis

In Mixup In La Cruza, George Valentine receives an unusual assignment that takes him to the charming coastal town of La Cruzza, Mexico. His client, Pascal Van Tiefel, has hired him to steal a diamond necklace valued at $100,000, a task that seems straightforward at first. However, the peculiar nature of the job raises George's suspicions about Van Tiefel's true intentions. Accompanied by his assistant, Brooksie, George arrives in La Cruzza, where the allure of the tropical setting contrasts sharply with the criminal undertones of their mission.
