An American pilot (Paul Kelly) joins the French Foreign Legion to get revenge on the sadistic commandant (C. Henry Gordon) who he hold responsible for the death of his brother. The Captain's cruelty eventually causes a revolt among the legionnaires. The most notable name connected with this dimwitted potboiler is Samuel Fuller who wrote the story (but not the screenplay) that served as the basis of this film. It's sort of a
MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY in the desert. Barely an hour long, there's not much to recommend. It's rather silly, not believable and generally badly acted. Directed by D. Ross Lederman. With Dwight Frye, Marc Lawrence, Robert Fiske and as the aviatrix girlfriend who just happens to crash her plane in the desert as Kelly is on a patrol, Lorna Gray.
