THE ROSE AND THE FLAME

by Jonreed Lauritzen ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 5, 1951

A la Sabatini, this story of the sword and dagger era of the California Spaniards in the New World as it is told by Senor Tigre. A knifeman, famed in Spain and the new country for his genius with his weapons, Tigre is attached to the Duke of Toledo's party as it attempts to flee to safety. Through the mountain passes, over unknown routes, in storm and dangers, Tigre is the mainstay of the Duke and his family and the butt of the guards' jealously...One nightmare after another, encounters with Indians, treachery within the party itself, and it is only Tigre, the daughter Lucia, and Sandio, ready for vengeance, who live to fight it out. A lusty tale which has a vivid quality.
