Julie Andrews and Omar Sharif are vacationing alone in Barbados, she to get away from recently ended love affairs, he to get away from his stressful life as a Russian spy. She resists his attempts to start a love affair, but back home in London gradually falls in love with him. When he decides to defect, she helps him arrange to exchange information on the identity of a top Russian spy for his freedom. It starts off slowly but does build to a somewhat tense and surprising ending.
