A peg-legged outlaw and his cutthroat gang go looking for a fortune in stolen gold, but find that the map that can lead them to the treasure is a parrot. Does that make sense to you? Well, never mind. Kirk Douglas directed, produced (his wife gets the credit on screen), and even had a hand in the script on this. It's not awful exactly, but it's an odd enterprise, a pirate/western/musical/adventure that doesn't feel like it fits or belongs anywhere, and doesn't really go anywhere, either. Mel Blanc does the voice of the parrot.
