The Black Scorpion

American Scott (Richard Denning) and local Ramos (Carlos Rivas) summoned to the lab of rural Mexican scientist Velazco (Carlos Muzquiz), with theories on the death of the policeman whose body they found, plus jokes, in the Warner Bros. monster-thriller release The Black Scorpion, 1957.

Interesting mix of news footage and some apparently staged wreckage, bulletins as prologue before the credits, from the mutated-creature thriller The Black Scorpion, 1957, shot largely in Mexico, then the introduction of surprisingly cheery geologists Richard Denning and Carlos Rivas.

Mexican geologist Ramos (Carlos Rivas) shows Scott (Richard Denning) and their hostess, rancher Teresa (Mara Corday), what he found in the obsidian rock from the incident scene, then a call from the telephone linemen, effects by Willis O’Brien and Peter Peterson, in The Black Scorpion, 1957.
