A Cuban refugee named Alvarez hides about $110000 in Central Park New York after fleeing Havana in 1860s. His fortune, earned through a Bank of England note stash, was buried during perilous travels and later pursued by family friends and police. A Havana-Esque romance and legal attestations frame the tale as a dramatic treasure mystery.
