Three Americans are headed by ship around the cape to the California gold fields when they are put ashore for several weeks in a sleepy little Mexican village. While there, they are offered the job of following a lady deep into the Indian-infested mountains of Mexico to rescue the lady's husband trapped by a cave-in at their gold mine. For the job they are promised $2000 each. While each contemplates their own chances for getting the lady and/or the gold mine, if they can survive to enjoy it.—Ronnie L. Hyde

Gary Cooper, Richard Widmark and Cameron Mitchell are variously noble, cynical and swinish companions to a lady-in-distress (Susan Hayward) in Mexico...pretentious, but passable.
