Based on a script by Robin Maugham and Bryan Forbes, The Black Tent is a wartime romantic mystery starring Anthony Steel as British officer Capt David Holland, who finds war and love in the Libyan desert. When Holland doesn't return to reclaim his vast estates in Britain after the war, his family presume he is dead and his brother Sir Charles travels to Libya to find out what happened to him. His investigations lead him from the British embassy in Tripoli to a Bedouin camp, where he is given a diary by the sheikh's daughter and begins to piece together his brother's strange story.
