Plot

Scobie, a police officer serving in a war-time West African state, is distrusted, being scrupulously honest and immune to bribery. Then, passed over for promotion, he is forced to borrow money from a Syrian trader to send his faded wife Louise on holiday. In her absence, he falls in love with a pathetic child widow ... and, inexorably, his conscience and his love of God lead him to disaster.
