ROBERT YOUNG..................................... Dr Stanley Moorehead
American Archaeologist seeking the Inca idol for the right reasons – to return it to the Quechua community. Dull, humourless and shy – but honest and reliable (the opposite to Harry Steele). Suddenly proposes marriage to Elena at the intihuantana “The hitching post to the sun”.
NICOLE MAUREY ....................................Elena Antonescu
Rumanian refugee on the run from the Consul. Left La Paz, Bolivia, because she “has no visible means of support”. Harry Steele reckons “They need glasses!" Elena worked as a ‘dancer’ in the club Grenada in La Paz. She keeps asking the men in her life “Who cut down the Cherry Tree?” during romantic interludes.
YMA SUMAC ..........................................Kori-
Dr. Moorehead’s laboratory assistant. She is an expert on Inca history and culture. She secretly has the hots for her boss and is jealous when Elena arrives on the scene. She passes the doctor some iodine when he is treating a cut to Elena’s shoulder. Sings of Inca folk lore in a very unique manner.
