Silly little jungle film

Warning: Spoilers
I did not expect much from director William Berke, escaped from RKO Pictures to Lippert Company. Cheap movies, fast shot, with nonsense but nevertheless not really tedious. Let's let him this!!

Sabu plays here a prizefighter whose brother, king in exile of an island in the Pacific Ocean, is killed by some henchmen hired by the local tyrant - of the island, I mean. Before his brother was killed, Sabu refused to return home to help his people;after all, he considered himself only as a poor prizefighter...But the killing of his brother changes everything and our hero gets back to waste is home land from - guess what - Communism...

Steven Geray - the unforgettable rogue cop of "So dark the Night" - is excellent as the dictator - RED dictator.

There is enough action to stay awake in this little flick.
