本片拍摄于1953年，根据马克·吐温的小说《一张百万英镑的钞票》改编。

Harry Dean has a plan to pull off a major robbery and needs Nicole as a gambit and windowdressing. He outlines his ideas about his perfect crime in a dream sequence and then meets Nicole, and nothing goes quite right again.

不折不扣的娱乐冒险片，片中三个主要角色代表着三股力量和思想，一个为民族独立对抗腐败政府的英雄，一个受了英雄蛊惑不惜肝脑涂地的青年学生，以及一个所谓的欧洲阿拉伯人。。。
