Storyline

The underworld of Cairo is alerted to certain moves of various people in the search for Rommel's treasure. Some are intent on the valuables, while others seek only the documents. The searchers, each working for individual reasons, are: von Brunner, an ex-officer of Rommel's staff who seeks the treasure to aid families of the fallen; Welles, a famous American news photographer out for a scoop; Mrs. Fischer, owner of a luxury riverboat nightclub who seeks the documents for a foreign power, and Krikorian, pretending to be helping Mrs. Fischer but is really interested in making what he can for himself. Sofia, a cabaret star for Mrs. Fischer, is in love with von Brunner and unwittingly endangers her life when Mrs. Fischer discovers she is helping von Brunner in his quest.
