The Vengeance of Ursus

The evil King Zagro has designs on the beautiful Princess Sira. He wants to marry her so he can take over her kingdom and add it to his own. When Sira is kidnapped, Ursus leaves his farm to rescue her and to eventually lead a revolt against King Zagro.

Samson Burke is adequate as the muscle hero Ursus in this typical peplum interspersed with palace intrigue and coups here with evil king Zagro's plans being scuppered by Ursus, a pretty princess waiting to be saved. It's fairly standard but enjoyable enough with plenty of action to keep an average peplum fan happy. The fighting in particular is good with Ursus flinging and clobbering the thugs with abandonment. Trial that Ursus has to do prove his innocence is quite good, especially the bit where the elephant is pulling him to the arrow points sticking out of the wood. The only thing I didn't like was Ursus' kid brother as he was annoying and nosey.
