Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Samson Against the Shiek is also known as Maciste Against the Shiek. Evidently one super-hero was as good as the next, so far as American distributors were concerned. Anyway, Samson (or Maciste) is played by Steve Reeves clone Ed Fury. Returning to his homeland, our hero discovers that the people have been enslaved by a despotic shiek. From here on in, it's "oof...grunt....filthy swine!" time.
