Description
The tiger of Eschnapur: Western architect Harald Berger (Paul Hubschmid), called to India by Chandra, the Maharajah of Eschnapur, falls in love with the beautiful temple dancer Seetha (Debra Paget), although she is promised to the Maharajah. Their betrayal ignites the wrath of a vengeful Chandra, who is fighting his own battle for power with his scheming brother, and the lovers are forced to flee into the desert. The Indian tomb: In the grand tradition of the serialized cliffhanger, this film picks up right where The tiger of Eschnapur ends. The adventure concludes with a bloody rescue from a sandstorm, a trek through the jungle, a cave of lepers, and a bloody palace rebellion.
