Jim Lowrey was an inmate confined to solitary in a prison located in the Florida swamp. After tricking the guards, Lowrey manages to escape and heads deep into the unforgiving swamp. He stumbles upon a shack occupied by a single man claiming to be a member of Ponce De Leon's last expedition to the Americas, making him over 400 years old. He claimed to have stumbled upon the Fountain of Youth but has become trapped within the swamp. Lowrey decides to use the swamp water to make a fortune and demands the Spaniard help him. The man tries to tell Lowrey that he cannot leave this place, but Lowrey pushes him onward. Eventually the man ages before Lowrey's very eyes and turns to dust. Finally he understood, the water's properties only worked as long as one remained nearby the fountain. Lowrey then was forced to go back to the shack, destined to spend the rest of eternity alone.
