Una pioggia torrenziale si abbatte sulla cittadina di Huntinburg. Le acque del fiume locale si alzano e inondano le strade. Il giovane Tom e suo zio Charlie sono alla guida di un furgone blindato che trasporta tre milioni di dollari provenienti dalle banche locali. Quando il furgone ha un guasto, la loro richiesta di aiuto trasmessa via radio viene intercettata. Jim, ladro anziano e stanco, intravede l'occasione che gli permetterà di ritirarsi a riposo su un'isola tropicale. Con i suoi complici si mette sulle tracce del furgone. Intanto lo sceriffo e alcuni aiutanti si stanno organizzando per difendere la città dall'allagamento e dallo sciacallaggio. Tom è con loro, deciso a difendere i soldi e aiutato da Karen. Dopo inseguimenti folli e combattimenti sottacqua nei corridoi di una scuola inondata, lo scontro tra Tom, Jim e lo sceriffo consente a ciascuno di chiarire meglio il proprio carattere. Tom vede premiata la volontà di non arrendersi al furto, ossia la soluzione più facile.
