The film's producers, Associated Television, described it as a dramatized documentary, much of it filmed in Egypt with Egyptian actress Suzanne Abu Taleb playing the lead. The story recounted the 1977 rebellion of Princess Misha, the married grandaughter of Prince Mohammed Bin Abdul Aziz who at 23 tried to live with a Saudi lover she had met as a student in Beirut.
