In World War I Africa, Rose, an English missionary, and her native village suffer a devastating attack by the German army. Charlie, who occasionally brings mail to the remote village on his steam boat named “The African Queen,” finds Rose in the remains of the village. Rose intends to retaliate by destroying the German war ship that maintains a military stronghold on that region of Africa, but Charlie is convinced her ideas are frivolous and suicidal.
