Pionieri della California

Edward Beale (Rod Cameron) and his caravan are en route to California as part of the U. S. Cavalry's initiative to utilize camels as cargo carriers for desert treks. Beale and his men join up with an escaped bank robber, Clint McDonald (John Ireland), who is impersonating a doctor. When one of Beale's men discovers McDonald's fraud, he blackmails the thief for a share of the bank loot. But then a far more menacing threat emerges in the form of American Indian warriors.

Fairly good B-western that is a little unusual due to the inclusion of camels and Muslim Arabs, but other than that it's business as usual with a long trek across the desert, there's a robber and his girlfriend, a crooked wagon member and Indians - John Ireland is particularly good as the robber who is conflicted over whether to return the money to the bank he robbed from, and that's what his girlfriend-Dru -wants him to do. The film ends with a sprightly Indian attack. Great locations in Kanab, Utah is a highlight - so are the camels!
