Synopsis

German Kurt Hohmann is the self-appointed leader of a syndicate searching for uranium in Kenya. The other partners--alcoholic white hunter George Brant, American ex-airplane pilot Burt Hickey, and George's ambitious wife, Mari--are unaware that Kurt is really working for Dr. Singh, who wants the mineral rights for his company. After fruitless digging and an act of sabotage against the group, Burt discovers a rich uranium deposit at another site. He also discovers Kurt's perfidy, but Kurt attempts to dissociate himself from Singh. Singh, however, murders Kurt and tries to eliminate the others. As George is murdered, Mari and Burt escape in Singh's plane.
