What happens

Elephant Walk is a 1954 American drama film produced by Paramount Pictures, directed by William Dieterle and starring Elizabeth Taylor, Dana Andrews, Peter Finch and Abraham Sofaer. It is based upon the 1948 novel Elephant Walk by Robert Standish, the pseudonym of English novelist Digby George Gerahty (1898–1981). Much of the film was shot on location, offering glimpses into the operation of tea plantations and the tea-production process within factories. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
