In northwest Africa, a tribal leader tries to stir up a rebellion against the ruling powers. Sultry Yvonne Decarlo has been recruited to spy on an Arab rebel leader who has slaughtered hundreds of French Foreign Legionnairs at a place called Fort Algiers.

In his bid to unite all local tribes against the French colonial rules, a North African leader organizes an attack against Fort Algiers. After taking the fort from the French Foreign Legion troops, Amir and his sidekick Yussouf, order their men to kill all Legionnaires and maintain total secrecy. In Paris, French intelligence agent Yvette Del Mar is persuaded by her superiors to return to North Africa and pose as a nightclub singer. Her task is to entertain and ingratiate herself with the Amir in order to extract secret information from him. In Algiers, dismissed French Army officer Jeff Brown volunteers for the French Foreign Legion. Jeff is surprised to see his former girlfriend, Yvette, singing in the nightclub and he doesn't suspect the fact she is working for the French Intelligence. A romantic rivalry of sorts develops between Jeff and the Amir, over Yvette's favours.

When a French spy is uncovered by the Amir and killed, Jeff is asked to replace the dead spy, due to his knowledge of Arabic and army signals. He agrees, not knowing that Yvette is also snooping around the Amir's palace. Meanwhile, the Amir is planning a major attack on the French oil-fields. Will they uncover the plot in time? Will they get caught?

A thoroughly unassuming romantic adventure.

Miss Decarlo has a role that is ahead of its time. She knows how to read and send codes, ride horses, fire weapons, and detonate explosives. She can also sing and speak Arabic. She is in high demand.

The film reused action sequences from Outpost in Morocco (1949)
