Humphrey Bogart stars as one of five disreputable adventurers who are trying to get uranium out of East Africa. Bogart's associates include pompous fraud Robert Morley and Peter Lorre as the German-accented "O-Hara". Becoming involved in Bogart's machinations is British married couple Edward Underdown and Jennifer Jones. The latter, playing a wide-eyed beauty who happens to be a pathological liar, gives the performance of her career. As a climax to their many misadventures the uranium seekers end up facing extermination by an Arab firing squad, but the crafty Bogart saves everyone's hides by promising to introduce the Arab police chief to Rita Hayworth!
