An Arab boy and a Jewish-American girl get caught up in an adventure that takes them all over Jerusalem, when they come into the possession of a rare coin that dates back to the time of King Herod. It seems there are seven coins all together, dug up in the ruins at Masada, and a murderous criminal played by Peter O'Toole will stop at nothing to have them all in his collection. It's formula stuff, with some nice location work and appealing performances by the juvenile leads. O'Toole looks weary, but with a wide selection of elegant wardrobe options, you can't say he's not well-dressed.
