Synopsis by Robert Firsching
Mark Forest stars in this obscure sword-and-sandal epic as Kindar, a sultan's son who was kidnapped after birth and raised by a rebel leader (Mimmo Palmara). Kindar, who has invulnerable skin, grows to adulthood, falls in love with a woman engaged to his real brother (Renato Rossini appearing as "Red Ross"), and prepares to raid the sultan's village before learning the truth. That sets up a desert battle between the two brothers, whose whip-fight is the film's high point. Osvaldo Civirani's assured direction and some slick action sequences make this a worthwhile entry for genre fans.
