Synopsis

Frank Gregory, the British representative in Central East Africa, loves his Russian wife, Tania, despite the fact that she is repeatedly unfaithful to him. Frank's assistant, Peter Allerton, commits suicide for love of Tania, and Frank's younger brother, Bobby, is sent out to replace him. Tania makes eyes at the young fellow, and Frank places deadly poison in her nightly glass of lime juice. Tubbs, Frank's faithful cockney servant, removes the lime juice, however, and places a poisonous snake in her bed instead. Tania dies, and the Gregory brothers return to England.
