A colonial-era adventure tale of loyalty and betrayal set against the British Raj, where a young prince must prevent a treacherous attack through courage and ingenuity.
Set in the India of the British Raj, the evil and untrustworthy Prince Guhl (Raymond Massey) plans to wipe out the British troops as they enjoy the hospitality of Guhl's spacious palace.
