7/10
Has some good fiery moments!

All the acting in this South African attempt at a Hollywood Western is certainly effective. And even the South African backgrounds here have a welcome tinge of color that is certainly reminiscent of the Old West.

Vincent Price enjoys a high old time as a prospector who has struck it rich and he is most ably supported by the really lovely Diana Avarson who made only a few films -- including this one set and photographed in South Africa -- even though she actually lived in Hollywood!

The rest of the players -- namely the outlaws who stumble upon Price's secluded cabin also deliver effective performances.

Robert D. Webb's direction is definitely a cut above his usual standard and he makes excellent use of South African locations that could well pass for the real Wide West itself!
