Wild, trashy, and difficult to classify, The Diamond Connection is equal parts action, adventure, crime thriller, and gonzo early 70’s kids-show-serial stuff! A plane crashes into the water and there is only one survivor, a man who now suffers from amnesia. He was carrying a large amount of diamonds that were supposed to be used to further a revolutionary groups cause. In no time at all lots of sleazy and ruthless types are organizing to retrieve the precious lost cargo for themselves; they’ll have to survive the sharks to make it happen! Also, the survivor of the accident (whose face has been wrapped in bandages due to the injuries he suffered) turns out to be a completely different person than he originally claimed! Things go from bad to worse for everybody involved once the diamonds are finally recovered! Bergonzelli was reaching towards something very different and significantly more ambitious than he was otherwise known for at the time.
