Layne Britton

Ignored by his own wife (Barbara Bel Geddes), a lawyer (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) begins a torrid affair with the wife (Lana Turner) of one of his partners (Jason Robards). Meanwhile, a third partner (Thomas Mitchell) embezzles from the firm. And all this is just a hint of the scandal buzzing through their little New England town. Acclaimed action director John Sturges shifts gears to helm this once-racy soap that co-stars George Hamilton.

In this African adventure, French Col. Dufort (George Dolenz) and American Mike Conway (Victor Mature) must team up to lead a Muslim leader to Timbuktu to bring an end to a Tuareg rebellion. In the meantime, Conway falls in love with Dufort's wife, Natalie (Yvonne De Carlo). As Dufort and Conway travel the Sahara, they learn that the unrest in Timbuktu has been incited by the nefarious Emir Bhaki (John Dehner).
