A widowed Chinese-English doctor falls in love with a married American correspondent in Hong Kong during China's Communist Revolution.

In 1949 Hong Kong, Mark Elliott is an American reporter covering the Chinese Civil War. Undergoing a trial separation from his wife, he meets the beautiful Dr. Han Suyin, a widowed physician from mainland China. As the pair fall in love, they encounter disapproval of their interracial romance from her family and his friends. Although the film was a commercial success upon release, the casting of Jones in an Asian role has since been criticized.—Jwelch5742
