Two years ago, hunting guide Mike Davis was with a client who trespassed on diamond company land and discovered a rich lode. Paul Vogel, the sadistic commandant of the company police, beat Mike nearly to death but failed to learn the location of the diamonds. Now, Mike returns to Diamantstad in the South African desert.
