  Former Nazi concentration-camp war-criminal Dr. Josef Mengele (Gregory Peck) is trying to re-establish the Third Reich by using DNA to clone Hitler. When Jewish Nazi hunter Ezra Lieberman (Laurence Olivier) is clued into the insane plot by young Nazi hunter Barry Kohler (Steve Guttenberg), he is not interested. But, after Kohler is murdered, Lieberman takes Kohler's words seriously and starts to investigate. The trail leads Lieberman to Paraguay where he uncovers Mengele's scheme to murder hundreds of men as part of the cloning experiment.
