After stops in Cairo and Istanbul , Saba is having a wonderful time entertaining the soldiers, falling in love, and making friends with the other performers. But just as the troupe is supposed to leave Cairo, Saba is asked by the Secret Intelligence Service to pass on a message to someone working undercover.
