First World War action drama set in Eastern Africa. In 1913, the paths of rogueish ivory dealer, Flynn (Lee Marvin) and Eton-educated aristocrat Sebastian Oldsmith (Roger Moore) become forever tangled when they come across the wicked Commissioner Fleisher (Reinhard Kolldehoff) in a German-controlled province. The two men barely escape an initial altercation with Fleisher, and when Flynn's granddaughter, fathered by Oldsmith, is killed by the German, they swear bloody revenge.
