Louisiana 1820. Lex Barker plays the son of the aristocrat Jules Tulane. The numerous raids on the plantations are carried out by river pirates. The pirates are sponsored by Lili Scarlet, who vindictively fights the aristocracy from a gambling steamer.
As the son of a plantation owner, Lex Barker makes a good, versatile impression. His range in the film extends beyond classic fencing scenes and chases. In the love scenes with Patricia Medina he shows himself as a gallant lover and proves amazing qualities in the comic scenes.
