Cecil Rhodes (Ferdinand Marian) is a rich, conniving Englishman who behaves like a sinister city slicker out of a Class B Western. His one thought is to rob the hard-working Boers of the gold beneath their peaceful farm lands. Behind him is the might of Britain in the person of a fat, money-lusting Queen Victoria (Hedwig Wangel), sly, oily Minister Chamberlain (Gustav Griindgens). Throughout...
