This unexceptional adventure yarn by director Jacques_Tourneur is set in the French Sudan during the beginning of World War II, when the French Foreign Legion was doing battle with the Tuaregs. In order to bring a halt to the hostilities, a powerful Muslim religious leader has to make it to Timbuktu, the center of the conflict. In the meantime, an American merchant-adventurer (Victor_Mature) is helping out the French commander of the garrison at Timbuktu, and falling in love with the commander's wife (Yvonne_De_Carlo). Between the forbidden romance, the journey of the Muslim leader, and the angry Tuaregs, there are no dull moments even if the tension is not exactly unbearable. Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
