Desert Desperadoes
Directed by Steve SekelyA caravan guarded by Roman soldiers comes across a woman (Ruth Roman) bound to a stake and left to die. A wealthy merchant (Akim Tamiroff) who hired the caravan is against taking her along, but the commander of the soldiers, Verrus (Otelo Toso), overrules him. Verrus tries to get friendly with her, promising all kinds of wealth for her favors. The caravan encounters a group of Judean refugees fleeing from King Herod's orders to kill all male children. They are on their way to Egypt with a male child. The merchant begins to ponder the reward that would be paid by the king and orders the woman to seduce a Roman guard to enable the messenger to get away. After the kIng's soldiers show up, Verrus refuses to surrender the refugees.
