This vampire picture with its nonsensical title is strictly B-movie fare.
Webb Fallon ( John Abbott ) is a talkative vampire and a Mr Kurtz- like figure running a shady bar in deepest Africa. A number of murders happen in the vicinity and he becomes chief suspect. It's a dull offering , the chief point of interest being whether Abbott really did have eyes like that ? ( It seems not ).
Peggy Stewart ( as Julie Vance )
Sex : No
Death : Survives
Peggy was originally Margaret O Rourke from Florida. She was originally best known for Westerns but then switched to TV. Her career as a character actress has lasted almost to the present day. She is now 93.
Adele Mara ( as Lisa )
Sex : Wears a revealing dancer's costume and shows her knickers during her routine
Death : Killed by Fallon for betraying him although he later says she' ll be resurrected as a vampire
Adele was originally Adelaide Delgado from Michigan. A trained dancer, she was much in demand in the forties both in film and as a pin-up girl. In the fifties , she switched to television, aided by her marriage to producer Roy Huggins, appearing three times in his Maverick series. She retired after 1978 and died in 2010 aged 87.
