Gilbert Gunn directs this 1950s British comedy starring Guy Rolfe,
Michael Hordern, Ronald Shiner and Lionel Jeffries. The officers on
board HMS Scotia are quick to seize the opportunity for a party
when they moor off the French Riviera. They have an excuse, too -
Captain Robert Randall (Richard Coleman) has just become engaged to
Jill Eaton (Mary Steele), who joins him on the ship to celebrate
along with her friends Mary Carlton (Anne Kimbell) and Antoinette
(Nadine Tallier). However, when a problem with the shore boat leads
to the girls spending the night on the ship, the officers are
forced to try and conceal their presence when the formidable
Admiral Hewitt (Hordern) arrives to inspect the vessel. Chaos duly
ensues...
Janine Simms a beautiful and talented CIA agent, is faced with one
of the most difficult tasks of her career. She is given a double
challenge by her bosses in 'The Agency': Uncovering the leaders of
al Qaida in Paris and discovering the whereabouts of a missing
Saudi Princess. Janine enlists the help of her former lover, Rick
Harrison, who invites her to Algeria to protect a visiting
French/Algerian woman Minister, and to help him discover who is
trying to sabotage his water purification project for the Bay of
Algiers. In the process of a visit to the Casbah, Janine discovers
that all is not as it seems with the princess's disappearance, or
with the Algerian businessmen who are funding Rick's restoration
project. Finally, on her return to Paris, she follows a lead to
Grasse in the south of France to search for a princess who does not
wish to be found.
"Assignment Sahara: Chad and Sudan" puts Janine Simms, an
experienced CIA operative, into one of the most dangerous
assignments of her career. She is sent to Chad, Central Africa,
under the auspices of the American Embassy, ostensibly to oversee
the delivery of food and medical supplies to refugees from the
Darfur region of Sudan. Her real mission is to search for the
missing daughter of a U.S. senator. The girl, Lilli, has
mysteriously disappeared from a church group providing aid to the
refugees. Janine's search takes her north to the uncharted Tibesti
Mountains of Chad, an insurgent stronghold, to look for the girl.
She is aided in her task by Brax, an experienced bush pilot, and
Lilli's father, the irate senator, who will risk anything, even
forcing the group to deal with terrorists, to rescue his daughter.
What happens when a beautiful art historian goes in search of her
lover's kidnappers and stumbles on the cause of the disappearance
of priceless Benin Bronzes from the British Museum? Because no one
believes her theories, she takes on the task of finding the truth
alone until Peter Blake, a Second Secretary in the American
Embassy, is assigned to help her. Under the watchful eye of Janine
Simms, a sophisticated CIA agent, the two struggle to find the
truth of an international group of art thieves who are
systematically pillaging the world's great collections of African
Art.
