“Savage Greed...Sultry Love...Wild Adventure!”

A safari guide named Mike Davis (Burt Lancaster) returns to the South African diamond company land he was caught trespassing on two years earlier, and no one will say what he was looking for. Instead of sending his heavy, the company manager hires Suzanne Renaud (Corinne Calvet), a seductive adventuress, to draw out Davis's secrets. William Dieterle puts Davis in the desert at Yuma, Arizona, the commandant (Paul Henreid) watching from his post.
