Years ago, Don Pablo Salazar stole a fortune in jewels from an Indian tribe and an Aztec medicine man put a curse on the jewels until they are returned. Years later an American insurance man, Breen Mathews (Willard Parker) promises to deliver the Salazar fortune to the rightful heir after Luis Salazar, son of Don Pablo, is killed. Breen heads for Topaz, where he hopes to find the surviving heir, Teresa. He finds instead, Louisa, daughter of Teresa, and is forced to fight a crooked group of townspeople, who are after the Salazar fortune, cursed or otherwise. Included in the group is sadistic "Hangin' Judge" Cole (Billy House) and Barnum (Barton MacLane), local saloon owner. Violence, betrayal, and a hint of the supernatural all explode as everyone is after the fabulous treasure!

An almost totally forgotten film, this is one of those low budget affairs that was shot in five days - and it shows. There are many laugh out loud bad moments in this film, and takes from the actors that probably shouldn't have made it into the final cut... but hey, film was expensive! The story is told flashback style by a character named “Shakey” Wilson, who’s blabbing about the treasure being hidden in the Topaz jail leads to its theft. This was one of only three films directed by Eddie Dew. Veda Ann Borg plays the saloon owner’s wife here. If Western fans remember her, it’s likely as the blind wife of a defender of the Alamo in John Wayne’s 1960 film of the same name.
