Plot synopsis

In Kenya in 1903, tough colonist John Gale (Van Heflin) is leading a safari to bring in escaped murderer Abel McCracken (Jeff Morrow), who is stirring up the Nukumbi tribe and endangering Gale's holdings. En route, he picks up four survivors of Nukumbi raids: McCraken’s brother Dan Harder (Howard Duff), former teacher Peggy (Ruth Roman), and two kids. Gale’s motives however are nothing to do with justice or even the charms of Peggy; he hopes to stake a claim on a valuable piece of land. Dan also has hidden motives for coming along; and the Nukumbi are lying in wait. Eventually Gale and McCracken meet in man-to-man combat.
