Plot Synopsis

Drama based on Edwin Greenwood’s ‘The Lake of Life’. Sir Henry Mallory is a skilful British diplomat, mysteriously sent on a low-profile mission to a semi-oriental colony called Tunatra. However it soon emerges that he is to sign a treaty with the wily Sultan (George Arliss). All is going smoothly until one night the Sultan stumbles upon a drunken party in the woods, and vows to find the smuggler responsible. Much is jeopardised when it is discovered that the smuggler is in fact British, and as a consequence the Sultan begins negotiating with both the Oriental and British powers.
