Starring Robert Livingston, Ray Corrigan, Max Terhune, Mary Russell, Roger Williams
Directed by Mack V. Wright
(actor & director credits courtesy IMDB.com)
The Three Mesquiteers join an expedition searching for a missing archaeologist and a lost Indian city, while searching for the unknown member of their party that killed the archaeologist's partner.
A Republic western in the long-running Three Mesquiteers series, the picture has gained some attention for its horror and adventure elements including an ancient Indian mummy. However, the mummy is very quickly dispatched by the Mesquiteers so don't get your hopes up for any sort of sustained conflict with the undead. It's still a good western with plenty of action and tuneful music selections from past Republic efforts, underscoring Indian ambushes, chases across the plains, and Corrigan's scaling of impressive California cliffs. Per Wikipedia, the trio of Livingston, Corrigan, and Terhune appeared in the bulk of the Mesquiteers films, with other actors occasionally substituted, including a 8-film stint by John Wayne.
