She is turned away by America's only personnel director who is not desperate to hire Negroes. Fortunately, she finds a protector in cantankerous Dr. Chegley (Lloyd Nolan), who doesn't care what color she is as long as she knows her business.

Many of the Soviet ships came through the Dardanelles during the Six-Day War, and their arrival helped persuade the Israelis to accept a ceasefire. The Soviets have enhanced their new image as the protector of their Arab allies by keeping a few ships in Alexandria and Port Said so that Israeli bombers will not be tempted to blast away at the vast amount of war materiel that is flowing into those ports...
