World for Ransom

Overview

Made by the same production set-up on the same lot that was producing the 1953-54 "China Smith/Captain China" TV series that starred Dan Duryea as soldier-of-fortune China Smith, using many of the same players that were regulars on the TV series. Director Aldrich went uncredited possibly because the film was a quickly-made but poor product.
