The Saracen Blade

Plenty of action adorns the screen as Montalban plays a common man who has risen in status in order to go through with his plans for revenge against Ansara and Jason, the count and son responsible for the death of Montalbans father. To carry out his scheme, Montalban marries Jones, though he is really in love with St. John, the wife of Jason. Montalbans determination pays off when revenge is his. In the end he wins the hand of St. John, his true love. The film places most of its emphasis on the action sequences. The lush backgrounds add to the flavor of the times, although several scenes are tinted black-and-white footage instead of color. (officiële tekst van distribiteur)
