Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBeach Dickerson, a Corman regular, played four roles in this film... not only is he the fair-haired boy that drowns in quicksand, he is also the stranger riding in from the burning plains, the bear that attacks the hunting party, and a drummer during the funeral for his own character.
- GoofsNear the beginning of the film, the Symbol Maker (Leslie Bradley) asks his woman, "Where's the boy? Beyond the river?" The left sleeve strap of the Symbol Maker's fur outfit is sewn together. In the next scene, the strap comes undone and he is holding the strap under his left arm. In the next scene, the strap is now tied together with a leather shoelace. Later in the film, this strap is shown tied together in two different places. Apparently there were problems keeping this sleeve strap together throughout the entire film, because it changes constantly.
- Quotes
The Symbol Maker: [speaking to his woman] Where's the boy?
[she points her finger out there]
The Symbol Maker: Beyond the river?
[he walks away]

Featured review
Made in the 50s to cash in on the unexpected success of the "I Was a Teenage.......", this entry at least dared to be different. Corman shows promise in this early directoral effort, and the story does have a neat twist at the end (if you make it that far), All that said, the slow, dragging plot and the non-existent production values make it a chore to watch. Notable also for an early screen appearance of "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." Robert Vaughn.
