Colonial tea planter John Wiley (Peter Finch), visiting England at the end of World War II, wins and weds lovely English rose Ruth (Dame Elizabeth Taylor) and takes her home to Elephant Walk, Ceylon, where the local elephants have a grudge against the plantation. Ruths delight with the tropical wealth and luxury of her new home is tempered by isolation as the only white woman in the district; by her husbands occasional imperious arrogance; by a mutual physical attraction with plantation manager Dick Carver (Dana Andrews), and by the hovering, ominous menace of the hostile elephants.
After a whirlwind romance in England, Ruth (Dame Elizabeth Taylor) marries John Wiley (Peter Finch) and returns with him to his tea plantation in Ceylon. She arrives to find a huge house full of servants and learns that shes the only European woman in the area with the other tea planters being bachelors. Most annoying, however, is the veneration of her husbands late father, who is still adored by Europeans and locals alike. He is the man who built Elephant Walk, their plantation house, so named by the fact that it was built in the direct path used by elephants to get to water. Dick Carver (Dana Andrews) is one of the few who has never bought in to the myth of the great founder and Ruth and he hit it off from the start. With her husband frequently away working, Ruth and Dick develop feelings for one another. A drought and the ensuing cholera epidemic will decide everyones future.
