In this film that appears to be a bizarre attempt to symbolically skewer the Establishment, three haughty nieces of a wealthy uncle travel to his island estate and make life miserable for his Arab servant. When the rich uncle dies, the servant turns the tables on the helpless, inept girls, refusing to take orders from them and locking them away in their rooms. He forces them into lesbianism, strips them, and paints them up like hookers, but he refuses to touch them. When the servant fakes his own death, the pathetically helpless girls revert to animalistic behavior to survive. As downed telephone lines and scattered radio broadcasts hint of a revolution, the servant swims out to sea and drowns, this time for good, and the supposedly dead uncle is seen breathing again. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

Captain Douglas (Michael Caine) is the British army leader who is ordered to lead a band of mercenaries into the desert. Their mission is to knock out an enemy fuel reserve. The inexperienced captain contends with a veteran Colonel (Nigel Green) who is enamored with using old history books to fight modern battles. Cyril Leech (Nigel Davenport) is the experienced mercenary hired by Brigadier Blore (Harry Andrews) to help guide Douglas and his group through the dangerous plot. Leech and Douglas have differences of opinion on how to successfully carry out the mission. As if the trouble with the Nazi wasn't enough, Brigadier Blore sells them out by tipping off the enemy through a spy. Douglas and the few men he has left must survive the sweltering heat and the enemy gunfire in order to insure their survival. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi
