Peter Hunt directed this old fashioned -- if not reactionary -- action film about gold-mining in South Africa. The story concerns a nefarious scheme to control the international price of gold by sabotaging the country's largest gold mine, flooding it with an underground sea. Hurry Hirschfeld (
Ray Milland) is a cranky but kind millionaire who owns the gold mine. His granddaughter, Terry Steyner (
Susannah York), is a beautiful women suffering from the old ennui. She happens to be married to chief bad-guy Manfred Steyner (
Bradford Dillman), who, along with unscrupulous international tycoon Farrell (
John Gielgud), hatches the plot to flood Hurry's gold- mine. To the rescue comes Rod Slater (
Roger Moore) and his faithful black sidekick Big King (
Simon Sabela), ready to right the wrongs and stem the tide in order to make South Africa safe for cheap black labor.
