Michael Laws in Ecuador, Ecuador Unplugged (1x5)

Air date: Mar 31, 2003

Talking your way out of a jam is second nature to politicians like Michael Laws, but he finds himself hampered in Ecuador since he doesn't speak the language. Michael takes a trip into another world as he floats down the Amazon River, beginning with sampling one of the local witch doctor's remedies. He later has the dubious pleasure of visiting a town that has been officially closed by the local government because it is in imminent danger from an erupting volcano nearby.
