A poor man's version of THE LIVES OF A BENGAL LANCER, OUTPOST IN MOROCCO tells the story of a desert fighter assigned to put down a tribal rebellion among the Arabs. The mission of this French Legionnaire, Capt. Paul Gerard (George Raft), gets detoured, however, when he falls in love with
Cara (Marie Windsor), the daughter of rebel leader Emir of Bel-Rashad (Eduard Franz). Hardly a credible story, made less credible by some cardboard characterizations. Veteran character actor Akim Tamiroff, who plays Gerard's subordinate, also appeared in the vastly superior LIVES OF A BENGAL
LANCER as the friendly Emir.
