Victor MacLaglen stars as a very odd character is this cheap B-movie. He's a screwy guy who is addicted to danger and taking unnecessary risks. Specifically, he loves to travel the world selling arms to fund various revolutions! It's not idealogical with him--he just likes the action, the risk and the chaos.
Early in the film, MacLaglen is nearly caught doing his dangerous 'craft' and is forced to flee--leaving his wife and young son behind. He never returns to claim them and loses track of them--all the time he's continuing his disreputable life. Eventually, his past catches up to him when he meets another cocky but younger man who also loves this mercenary life....and it turns out to be his son!!! There's a lot more to it than this and it's decent entertainment. However, the characters aren't exactly likable and the film looks cheap--because it is.
My verdict--adequate entertainment and since it's in the public domain and downloadable from links on this site, it's worth a look...but certainly not a must-see!
