Synopsis
In 1957 British intelligence officer Major McGuire is sent to Cyprus to locate General Skyros, a leader of the Cypriot terrorists. McGuire believes Skyros is hiding out at the home of Dr. Andros, a Greek Cypriot whose house guest, American archeologist Juno Kozani, professes political neutrality but also feels a certain loyalty to her hosts. One night, Juno discovers Skyros in hiding at the house, and although she promises not to reveal his whereabouts, Haghios, a fanatical student rebel, does not believe her, especially since she has become friendly with McGuire. Realizing the danger of her position, Juno decides to return to America but narrowly escapes being killed by Haghios on her way to the airport. McGuire finds Juno and hides her in his apartment while British authorities search the island for her. Although Juno refuses to reveal Skyros' whereabouts to McGuire, the two find themselves falling in love. Haghios and his men attempt to break into the apartment, but British soldiers arrive in time to save the couple. Disgraced for hiding the woman, McGuire is transferred to Greece, where he is joined by Juno. Haghios attempts once more to silence Juno, but McGuire's aide shoots him. McGuire and Juno are reunited and discover that a mysterious stranger who has been following them is a private detective gathering evidence for a divorce for McGuire's wife.
