Peter Woods is a charming Englishman whose personality enables him to be
promoted in the business world at an early age. He becomes engaged to the
boss’s daughter, who is killed in a car accident on the eve of their wedding. His
life becomes a compromise between his ambition and his grief, with the former
winning out. The action takes place in Paris, Vienna, Geneva, London and
several countries of North Africa, at a time when major international conflicts
left few clues as to their eventual outcomes.
