A ludicrous North African adventure with O'Hara as a secret agent sent to the Dark Continent to uncover a smuggling ring. She has been recommended for the job by a fellow American agent working with foreign law enforcement. He's the only one who knows her identity, but when he's killed, O'Hara is still able to break the smuggling ring with the help of agent Carey, initially thought to be one of the gang, and heart-of-gold saloonkeeper Barnes (wife of coproducer Frankovitch, a fortuitous bit of nepotism, as hers is easily the best performance). The location shots in Tangier are lovely, but Carey is no Pepe le Moko, and O'Hara is no Gaby. The highly predictable script detracts from any possible enjoyment of the action. leave a comment
