The stunning 'Heart of Fire' ruby once adorned the crown of the Tsars but brings death to whoever owns it. Stars Robert Beatty.
The 'Heart of Fire' is one of the world's legendary jewels which once adorned the crown of the Tsars.
But legend proclaims the stunning ruby brings death in its wake. So the American millionaire Rufus Van Aldin may live to regret his purchase...
