Gold Dust

In GOLD DUST, Moses and Fink are two bumbling aspiring prospectors on the US/Mexican border who always seem to be one step behind their rivals while searching for treasure. In the midst of their newest search, they happen upon a Jeep with an unconscious and presumed dead man who looks like Santa Claus in the driver's seat, and a duffel bag filled with cash in the back. They take the money, and now must elude the wrath of the notorious El Guapo, the leader of a drug cartel who also loves animal prints and disco music. Hot on the trail of the money is "The Dancing Killer," the right-hand man of El Guapo. As "The Dancing Killer" knocks unconscious everyone he comes across in the desert before kidnapping them, Moses and Fink literally run into a young girl who has escaped the cartel. She tells Moses and Fink about how kids are being kidnapped and forced to smuggle heroin across the border. Some of these kids have escaped, and they are now a kind of guerilla force called "The Lost Boys." When faced with helping "The Lost Boys" and saving those kidnapped by "The Dancing Killer," Fink opts instead to go back to civilization, find the woman he has been secretly in love with since high school, and propose marriage now that he's a wealthy man. Meanwhile, Moses tries to do the right thing, but unless his best friend can learn to value friendship over greed, it seems that all is lost.
