SYNOPSIS:  “Since a man’s home is his castle, it stands to reason that any place he hangs his castle is home…

So when an international architectural exhibit is announced in Paris, the President of Yerbadoro, knowing all too well that his people are revolting and that his dictating days are numbered, decided to take advantage of that old adage – and moves his castle to Paris… stone by stone.  Exit President.

And since a president must leave his country with dignity, style and his fortune intact, he has hidden in the stones fifty million dollars worth of stocks, bonds and jewels.  Exit happy president.

Enter lovely revolutionary Lida Perez.  Enter Eustace Dench and his international quartet of criminal masterminds with only one interest in common: money.  Exit castle?  Stone by stone?”
