Bob Adams (John Wayne), ace newsreel cameraman, is told by his boss,
"Get the picture---we can't screen alibis." He heads for Samari, a desert
hot-bed of tribal unrest in Africa, to do just that, which includes getting
footage of El Kadar (Charles Brokaw), bandit and rebel leader. He gets his
pictures but only after a romance with the Colonel's daughter Pamela
(Gwen Gaze), saving his wimpy, hacked-off brother Don (James Bush)
from being a dupe of the gun-runners, and run-ins with spies and
throat-cutting tribesman. For a finale, he saves the British Army. Made
during the two-year period when Universal became "The NEW Universal"
but still looked like the old Universal. FYI to source that thinks actor Jack
Mack is the same actor as musician/western actor Taylor Curtis McPeters,
AKA Cactus Mack; He ain't. Not even close.
