Grundlæggeren af DHL World Express, den da 52-årige milliardær Larry Hillblom, forsvandt sporløst, da hans veteranfly forulykkede i Stillehavet på vej fra Pagan Island til Saipan, hvor han havde bosat sig. Hillblom havde testamenteret sine mange penge til en fond uden at nævne eventuelle arvinger. Men efter hans død stod unge kvinder fra hele Sydøstasien frem og hævdede, at de havde børn med Larry. Det viste sig, at Larry Hillblom havde en forkærlighed for meget unge kvinder, helst jomfruer, da han var bange for at blive smittet med aids. Det kom til et større retsligt opgør, der endte som en David og Goliat historie mellem nogle af USA's største advokatfirmaer og en lille lokal sagfører fra Stillehavsøen Saipan.
