Playboy Tom Ransome (George Brent) finds his life in India turned upside down by the arrival of his former paramour, Lady Edwina Esketh (Myrna Loy), now married to a nobleman. Nevertheless, Edwina appears willing to revoke her vows as she makes a play for Tom's best friend, Major Rama Safti (Tyrone Power), who's only interested in work. Meanwhile, Tom is developing feelings for the daughter of a missionary, who just may get him to commit.
