Synopsis:

A novelist, devoted to the commerce of archaeological finds, heads for Carthage where a mysterious casket has been found aboard a sunken ship. Continually hindered by collectors, merchants and traffickers, the novelist becomes interested in the ship which appears to have been captured by a flying saucer. It seems like the scoop of the century and from here on in things start to get complicated, not to mention dangerous, as a fantastic story unveils itself.
