In the late 1800's in East Africa a railway engineer and the son of the owener are trying to get to the railhead. They enlist the help of a guide and meet a woman who works in a medical centre. Along the way she is captured by slaves and the others have to rescue her. This is not a great films as the plot is thin and it is a mix of stock African footage and the actors clearly filmed on a set. This was Mariette Hartley's second film and she went on to do much better work as did Frankie Avaon.
