In a small (fictional) emirate of the Persian Gulf, a world-weary journalist 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 develop and flourish.
