A good-natured Englishman known to his friends as Duffer sails from Naples carrying papers that point to a hidden secret in Egypt. In Cairo he falls in with a party of American women, and a trip up the Nile toward Khartum becomes a comedy of rivals, chaperones, mistaken motives and a precious object one young traveller will not let out of her sight.
