In a small (fictional) emirate of the Persian Gulf a world-weary journalist (Granville Jones , one of the forgotten 'greats' of old-time Fleet Street) is caught up in a coup where the Emir’s son, under the influence of a political renegade, attempts to depose his father - the ruling monarch. Flashbacks of the journalist’s life show us how his relationships with the Emir and a beautiful young woman (archaeologist Romy Burton) develop and flourish. Can events also recall the journalistic skills that could save his old friend, the Emir, and save the peace of the whole region?
