La ruta del opio (1972)
Joseph Coppola tiene lo que muchos hombres envidian. Posee un night club que le proporciona mucho dinero y que incrementa más aún su patrimonio, además tiene éxito con las mujeres; no obstante, este americano rico no se conforma con su riqueza y quiere más. Un día, viaja a Turquía con la intención de emprender algún negocio. Allí pasará unas jornadas idílicas, rodeado de mujeres, alcohol y drogas, y establecerá contacto con una red de narcotraficantes a los que comprará un abultado cargamento de opio. Don Vincenzo le enseña un plan para transportar la droga a Estados Unidos, parando antes en Sicilia. El camino de regreso será accidental y muy arriesgado; sin embargo, no es hasta que llega a Estados Unidos que se da cuenta que la policía le pisa los talones. Joseph tiene poco tiempo para idear un plan y salir impune.
