A policeman strongarms a surly drunk into guiding him and a group of his men deep into the Belgian Congo, where they intend to arrest a white man and self-styled king called Hammer. The reluctant guide has a history with Hammer that the police don't know about, a history that drives him to drinking.
This one is lauded by a number of "best of" Internet lists, though I can't really recommend it. I didn't find it very compelling and there seems to be a running commentary in the show about a "ruined woman" that feels pretty horrific in a dated, sexist sort of way.
