Abstract:
An American business executive in revolutionary Iran seeks to take a series of steps to allow hundreds of his firm's employees to safely escape the country. But doing so, he finds, means doing business with a merchant who asks something in return--that the executive smuggle valuable Oriental rugs out of the country and deposit the proceeds of their sale in an American bank account for the benefit of the merchant's family.
