Plunder of the Sun (Wayne-Fellows; Warner) is an oldtime movie chase story played against a background of ancient Zapotec ruins at Oaxaca, Mexico. A footloose insurance agent (Glenn Ford) comes into possession of several old sheets of parchment which are a clue to a priceless treasure buried among the ruins. In practically no time, he finds himself mixed up with such shady characters as a fat invalid (Francis Sullivan), a raven-haired Latin beauty (Patricia Medina), an alcoholic blonde (Diana Lynn), a mysterious fellow with a crew cut and smoked glasses (Sean McGlory). The feverish chasing is punctuated with slugging and shooting. This sort of thing has been done better a number of times, but the scenery, shot on the spot in Mexico, is almost striking enough to divert the moviegoer's attention from the foolish events going on in the foreground.
