Q: Build a movie plot around this: What is the relationship between John an Ruth? husband and wife
A: A young bride of a rich tea plantation owner tries to cope with life in Ceylon (now Indonesia) with her new husband. Bride Ruth (Elizabeth Taylor) comes to realize that her groom John Wiley (Peter Finch) still lives in the shadow of his late father, the "Governor." Every weekend John hosts all the planters from the area for three-day stag parties involving non-stop alcohol consumption and indoor bicycle polo. Ruth is the first non-native woman to be seen in the area in two years, and only Elephant Walk Plantation overseer Richard "Dick" Carver (Dana Andrews) can provide a listening ear. But after rebuffing Dick's advances, he leaves for Paris. However, John breaks his leg before the next plane out, so Dick returns to take up the slack. Ruth learns the plantation is named for the fact that it sits astride a major pachyderm trail. In the midst of a severe drought, cholera breaks out. The plantation is quarantined, and the natives who serve as "beaters" to keep the elephants away fall ill or desert the Wiley homestead. A herd of elephants breaks into the main house, setting it on fire while Ruth (exhausted from fighting the epidemic) is napping. Back on his feet, a reformed John rushes in to carry Ruth to safety. He promises to build Ruth a new place, "somewhere else."
