The story is set in East Africa in 1903. A fellow by the name of McCracken is stirring up one of the Tanzanian tribes...and sending them off to do his evil bidding. John Gale (Van Heflin) is out looking for him when he comes upon a woman and her kids who are in danger. Naturally he takes them with him on his trek. Along the way, they come upon a guy who is a McCracken but the man keeps this to himself...as he doesn't want them to know who he is. So what's next? See the film and find out for yourself.
Van Helfin is fine in the lead, as you'd expect from this solid actor. The story itself is modestly entertaining and the story is also chock full of stock footage...and fortunately most of it fits very well into this African story made in Hollywood. Not great but worth seeing.
