The Mountain (1956)

When a plane crashes on a mountaintop Chris wants to plunder the wreckage.
His older brother Zachary has given up mountain guide work but goes along rather
than letting his brother risk it alone. The only survivor is a Hindu girl who Chris wants
to kill. Zachary fights him off. While Chris steals from the dead passengers,
Zachary prepares a sled to take the girl down the mountain.
