terror of the steppes (1964)

aka I predoni della steppa. The Mighty Khan.
"Death is too easy. Let's think up a torture to prolong it."
Sandar Khan (Kirk Morris) kidnaps Princess Samira (Ombretta Colli), but her father kills most of his men when they try to ransom her. What is left of Sandar's people flee, and along the way he and Samira fall for each other, and she is allowed to return to her father, who ships her off to marry another. Sandar is then betrayed by Malina (Moira Orfei),and sold into slavery, before being freed by his friend Kublai (Furio Meniconi). They then lead an uprising to destroy the evil empire, and win his bride.
A film that substitutes Romans for Mongal's, in this otherwise run of the mill peplum.
