Synopsis
A strange group of men and a woman refuse to let the Mexican, Pedro Ramirez, guide them along the hazardous route across the desert and yellow mountain to Rio Solis. When their incompetent, drunken guide goes over a cliff, Pedro shows himself and guides them for an increased fee. Tensions mount during the long perilous journey, between members of the group and against the Mexican. Finally arriving, the group meets rebels. Some of them are gun runners and Pedro is a captain in the Mexican army. Miss Van Dyke and her grandfather survive the battle, and Pedro guides them on as welcome colonials.
Notes
The signature is unclear and might not be Flores, or might be a different Flores. The signature is dated 1968.
