An American comedy war drama; A story about a newsreel cameraman sent to photograph a bandit sheik in North Africa but ends up trying to rescue his visiting brother from gun-runners. This low budget B film, heavier on plot than on action, offers glimpses of exotic adventure and romance and some tongue-in-cheek humour. John Wayne is fair in his role but struggles to make an impact because of a busy subplot involving his character's brother which was unfunny and clotted the story. For a short feature it feels a bit experimental but it is without pretension and the action in the final third holds up reasonably well.
