A slightly puzzling period noir set around an archeological enterprise in Egypt, Temptation is both subdued and opulent, both nasty and refined, Oberon’s surreptitiously selfish Ruby perhaps the most elegant femme fatale in all of noir.
A young woman of her acquaintance confides that she is being blackmailed over indiscreet letters she foolishly sent to a man called Baroudi, with whom she believed herself to be in love. Ruby offers to recover the letters. But when she meets the blackmailer, mutual attraction leads to an affair.

In a flashback, late-Victorian beauty Ruby, a divorcee with a shady past, calculatingly marries rich Egyptologist Nigel, who installs her at his Cairo estate while he digs for mummies.
