Four friends undertake a worldwide tour sponsored by a tobacco company. The journey commences in Ireland. Having traversed five continents, final destination was to be the steps of the Sydney Opera House in Australia. They would never make it! Rickie, he was just a normal bloke, young, loving life, learning lots and could only think of helping others. Ludz the German was gregarious, intelligent and suave with lots of money behind him. A great friendship developed between the two. However deceit was also an aspect of the German's makeup that he used to con others in his circle to become his allies, allowing him to conduct his nefarious affairs for his selfish agendas. In spite of his seeming outward pleasant personality he was evil to the core. Throughout his life he kept this secret from those he befriended. All about him was false. Anyone who stood between him and his programmes met with a swift introduction to the highway for Heaven. The life road for Rickie and Ludz had many turns and twists with death by unnatural cause the final decider.
