Richard Attenborough stars in this 1960s British military drama based on the novel by Robert Holles. When British Sergeant Major Lauderdale (Attenborough) is sent to a military outpost in Africa with orders to keep the peace during a changeover in the local government, his troubles are compounded by the political views of contentious female officer Miss Barker-Wise (Flora Robson) and the amorous intentions of pretty young United Nations secretary Karen Eriksson (Mia Farrow).
