Storyline

During the Mahdist insurrection in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, veteran colonial Private Baker teams up with freshly arrived gentleman Murchison, trying to evacuate from southern Barash the Emir's daughter Asua and her English governess, Miss Woodville. It's a perilous journey on the Nile and its banks. They must face crocodiles, Arab slavers, and a backward Negro tribe they prey on, where King Gondoko's missionary-raised brother Kimrasi saves and joins them. Once in capital Khartum, they find the revolt has reached it and the men join the fight.—KGF Vissers

Short Review

There's a lot of Africa put into this lackluster survival story and ignores the dusty desert geography of this part of the Nile to put in as much fauna and animal life from the entire continent. We know the actors are never in much danger though from the shoddy sets and screens that are all too apparent.
