Alcoholic security guard is sleeping in his car when a bomb goes off down the block. The explosion kills a big-shot, but it also kills another man who was a friend and sponsor of our guard. The man's wife finds an unburned plastic Curro figure in her dead husband's hand indicating that someone put it there after the explosion. The Curro figure was the mascot of the 1992 World's Fair (Expo '92) that was held in Seville, Spain.

Amparo, the wife, is determined. Richi, the guard, in not the least interested in solving an unsolvable crime, but he keeps stepping up to help and/or protect Amparo on account of she keeps stirring up trouble.

Curro - Mascot for Expo '92 in Seville Spain

The story has several accidents that befell the Expo. There were some accidents at the Expo, but they are not a 100% match with accidents in the story. Real accidents:

Major Incidents

Bus Crash (August 1992):.
A bus carrying 56 tourists from Barcelona to Seville, the site of Expo '92, skidded off the road and toppled down an embankment on the A-7 highway near Torreblanca. The accident resulted in 45 deaths and 11 injuries. The bus driver lost control while taking a bend at excessive speed.

Pavilion Fire (February 1992):.
A significant pavilion, slated to house Spanish exhibits, was destroyed by a fire while workers were making final preparations. The blaze was determined to be accidental, and the pavilion was not rebuilt.

Viking Ship Disaster (May 1992):.
Two replica Viking ships, part of Norway's exhibit, were swamped by a severe storm and wrecked at sea while en route to Seville. While the crew was rescued, the ships were lost.

The makeup / special effects people had their work cut out for this show with all the grisly bodies that keep popping up. We not all have the victims of arson and explosions, but our guard is hallucinating and his visions are not all lollypops and roses. The wife meanwhile gets some spectacular nightmares. And I haven't even mentioned the villain. He's particularly gruesome.

6 episodes 45 minutes each.
