While the M.G.M. safari was beating through the trackless veldts and jungles of South Africa in search of King Solomon's Mines, J. Arthur Rank was mounting forays along the northern coast in an attempt to catch a gang of gun-runners. The result of his expedition is highly unsatisfying; "The Golden Salamander," despite its title, contains no animals, and for all the good J.

Tigano had ordered a gang to cut through a garden which Verardi rents from Baron Giulio Berlin-gieri. On the map (and all old inhabitants of Santa Severina confirmed this) a municipal road once ran through the garden.
