Fired for his sympathetic coverage of an Arab leader who has been executed for murder, disgraced reporter Ted Franklin (Gary Merrill) boards a flight from Tangier to Cairo. His traveling companion is the beautiful Barbara Denham (Patricia Cutts), who expresses fascination over his unorthodox treatment of the murder trial. Gradually, Franklin reveals just why he believed the Arab was innocent -- and in so doing puts a noose around his own neck. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
