Idle soldier Rory Calhoun saves the life of a traveler and his daughter in England and later at an Inn in France. He is rewarded with a stake in their search for a treasure hidden on a remote island in the Mediterranean. Overcoming many obstacles along the way, they finally reach the island where they meet up with a group of strangers who possess the pieces of a treasure map. They figure out the clues, but the split does not go as planned. The swashbuckling story is never quite as good as you want it to be, with too much comedy relief in the first half and a predictable plot, right down to the surprise ending. Calhoun is energetic, but lacks leading man qualities to carry the picture.
