Al Adamson directed his first movie with his father, Victor, and wrote the script with Alan Greedy. His father was also the cowboy actor Denver Dixon.
In the days before the Mexican Revolution, the daughter of a wealthy landowner named Maria San Carlos (Caroll Montour) is set to take part in an arranged marriage with Escobar (Al Adamson using the name Lyle Felice). Not in love, she and Joanne (Shirley Tegge) run away with Escobar's mercenaries after them. Her servant Manuel (Sergio Virel) and another team of henchmen are also sent.
The high point of this - I don't have the box set, so I've been hunting a copy - is that there's a duel with bullwhips.
The interesting thing is that this is all told from a female POV - novel for 1960 and a Western - and gets pretty rough with Mariah nearly being raped. It's 67 minutes long and would start the foundation for the movies that Adamson would make.
