Harry Pope (Andrew Ray) is a teacher in India, he also has a drink problem but has been on the wagon for a few weeks.
With his friend Timber Woods (Anthony Steel) away at a party. Harry discovers that a deadly snake has slithered into his bed and rested on his stomach.
When Timber arrives with his bit on the side, Sandra (Judy Geeson) a married woman. Timber needs to get help quick as a heavily sweating and nervous Harry eventually spells out that has happened to him some hours ago.
Timber phones for the local doctor but eventually they discover that the snake has gone. Maybe Harry had a drink or two and imagined it.
Well acted by Andrew Ray, with some barbed remarks about people with superior colonial attitudes. Despite some red herrings, it was all a bit ordinary and a cynical message about falling for the temptation of drink.
