During the British retreat through Libya, a British officer takes shelter with a group of Arab Bedouin. He marries the chief's daughter. Sometime later, his younger brother, who had believed him to be dead, is informed that he may be alive in Libya - prompting him to set out and search for him.

Donald Sinden delivers a soulful, weathered performance amidst the sweeping tension of the North African desert. This sweeping saga explores the collision of colonial duty and personal devotion through a high-stakes search for a lost brother.
