She sets out across the desert with Joe Ransom, a newsreel cameraman, and her guide Ahmed. The starring cast includes Olivia de Havilland and Spencer Tracy, with Akim Tamiroff, William Bakewell and Clarence Derwent in supporting roles. The journey through the desert brings danger and difficult choices for both travelers.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
