Camels in the Southwest United States desert

The peculiarity of this cute western is that there is question of camels - yes, camels - in the Arizona - or New Mexico or Utah - desert. There are some unusual westerns like this; for instance Russel Rouse' THUNDER IN THE SUN where half of the characters were French Basques !!!! So, yes, this western made by the specialist Ray Nazarro definitely deserves to be seen, at least for this good reason. Besides the camels element, if you are a western goer, it is also for you, certainly a good time waster and not a lousy one. I always feel happy when I watch such an old fifties western. Rod Cameron was rather directed by Joseph Kane rather ay Nazarro.

Goofs
The Gila Monster is one of very few venomous lizards in the world. It produces a moderate neuro-toxin, but no-one ever died of a Gila Monster bite per se or needed to have an amputation as suggested here. It is possible that might arise from an associated sepsis.
