Sir John Locksley is an ailing millionaire and master jewel thief. He invites the best rival jewel thieves in the world to his island estate. They will compete for the ultimate prize of the Shalimar Ruby. The winner will walk away as the proud owner of the world's most luminous jewel but the losers will pay with their lives.
The plot of this film was inspired by the novel The Vulture is a Patient Bird by James Hadley Chase. The English film version is known as Raiders of the Sacred Stone. This movie is terrible, it could be at the top of the list of worst movies ever! There are only interesting moments or possibly minutes!! A musical number on the beach is ridiculous and laughable. One thief's body is made into a god by the natives and another comes back from the dead? Was Rex Harrison out of money and he needed to make house, car and boat payments? 2* (I didn't like this movie)
