Leon Courtney is a safari guide for the rich and powerful in the Masai tribal territories. One of his clients, Count Otto von Meerbach, is a German industrialist whose company builds vehicles for the Kaiser's army. Before the outbreak of the First World War, Leon is recruited by his uncle to spy on the Count--and what he uncovers is a plot against the British. What Leon hadn't realized was that he was falling in love with the Count's mistress.
