Rick helps a Muslim woman, whose husband divorced her verbally because of him, become a local guide, but then she gets falsely accused of cheating on her husband with Rick, which carries a death penalty.
When a Muslim man slaps his wife while visiting Rick's cafe, Rick intervenes...and starts a chain of events that neither he did not foresee. A presumed divorce--did it or did it not happen?--a Muslim woman acting like a Western woman, and the disruption and interference of a westerner (Rick) into Muslim traditions leads to charges of adultery. This against a backdrop of the German's using the woman's friendship with Rick to find evidence of his involvement of smuggling guns to Ethiopia.—Spirit11
