To complete his collection of King Herod's coins, Emil travels to Jerusalem to seek out the seventh and final one. In his search for the coins, Emil begins to lose his mind, and eventually comes to believe that he is the reincarnated Herod. This does not bode well for the two children who possess the coin, American tourist Ronnie, and pickpocket Salim. As Emil continues on his murderous rampage, the two must avoid him while also protecting the coin. The film is filmed in Israel, and has the same style as Romancing the Stone and The Jewel of the Nile.
The New York times described the film as having "plenty of snazzy local color but no idea what kind of film it wants to be".
