Synopsis by Hal Erickson
The Balearic Caper is a West German gold-hunt escapade. The film zeroes in on the Balearic Islands, where a sunken treasure has been located. The island is besieged by legitimate archaeologists and crooked fortune hunters, some of whom will go to any lengths to claim the booty. Three people are murdered before anyone actually gets to the treasure itself. When released to American TV, The Balearic Caper was ballyhooed as an espionage drama, due to the presence in the cast of two veterans from the James Bond films: Daniela Bianchi (From Russia With Love) and Harold Sakata (Goldfinger).
