...picture opens in Africa, where toughly sentimental Gregory Peck lies dying of gangrene. While vultures perch hungrily on a nearby tree, Peck trades cynical dialogue with his wealthy wife (Susan Hay ward) and relives some of the juicier parts of his Casanova past. The lovelorn trail begins with Teen-Ager Helene Stanley, who was jilted by Peck in consideration of a new rifle and an assured income from Uncle Leo G. Carroll.

In another town his neck was bound with a wet rope which almost choked him as it dried and shrank. Another rope was made to trail from under his gown like a tail. To humiliate them both, the Reds once forced him to undress before Sister Joan Marie. She caught a glimpse of Bishop Ford for the last time in February of this year, the month the Reds now say he died. His once dark hair...
