Heaven's to Betsy! What on earth was Alan Ladd doing in this nonsense? Originally injured in battle, "Horacio" is cared for by a family of Albanos. Returning home, he is met with great suspicion - is he telling the truth, or is he a traitor? Anyway, he ends up one of three brothers charged with representing the Kingdom of Rome against their arch rivals the Kingdom of Alba. After some plotting and a fair degree of betrayal and subterfuge, the battle royal to save thousands of lives and decide the fate of Italy takes place. I'm guessing they allocated the vast majority of the budget to their star (apparently he never did get paid!) because the rest of this is really rather poor. His co-star Franca Bettoia ("Marcia") is glamorous enough, but those fluttering eyelids can only carry an actress
