In the Dominican Republic, Genaro works in a small family store and lives with his mother in a poor neighborhood. He is learning a few words in English and dreams of being a Sanky Panky to marry an American tourist to move to the USA with a VISA and have a better life. He calls his friend Giuseppe, who is a hotel manager in Bávaro, and applies for a job entertaining children but hoping to find a wealthy tourist. Genaro meets the beautiful Martha, who has come with her aunts Dorothy and Helen, to forget her fiancée after calling off her wedding. Genaro calls his best friends, Chelo and Carlitos, to go out with the aunts and experience it alone with Martha. Martha only speaks English and Genaro only knows a few words of English, but everything goes as planned until Martha's boyfriend arrives at the resort and complicates everything.

In San Francisco de Macorís, Genaro, Chelo, and Carlitos work at a chocolate factory while Giuseppe prepares to manage a hotel abroad. After a chaotic series of incidents at the factory, Carlitos wins a safari trip to Africa and chooses Genaro and Chelo as his companions. Their journey unexpectedly leads them into Giuseppe’s professional world at a luxury resort in Nairobi. During a safari, disaster strikes when they trigger a stampede and become separated in the savannah. Each is taken in by a different tribe and mistaken for a prophesied leader, just as a tribal war over land and diamond mines is about to begin. Giuseppe and Goberto try to stop the conflict, but Giuseppe is captured for a ritual. In the end, the trio prevents the war, saves Giuseppe, and returns home, only to discover they have become owners of fortunes worth 100 million dollars each.

Nicholas, a young man with limited resources, decides to dress up as Santa Claus to make money during the Christmas holiday.
