Dack Rambo and Roger Davis are two handsome young men (as if you didn't know) in search of a sunken treasure. They head to Mexico, where on behalf of several older, less athletically inclined wheeler-dealers, they dive for gold off the Mexican coast. They don't get what they want, and spend ever so long pontificating about it. Among the supporting players is Ray Milland, who in his autobiography made several veiled but pointed comments (along the lines of "how the mighty have fallen") about this misfire adventure. River of Gold was made for ABC's Movie of the Week.
