In the officers' mess of the 42nd Highlanders, the famous "Black Watch," a célebration is being held on the eve of their departure for the French: front. Captain Donald King (Victor McLaglen) is abrupt- ly summoned to the War Office, where he is told that a dangerous native uprising is being fomented in India!" +The Khyber Pass, the 'northern gateway into India, is the scene of a Buge gathering of fana+ tic tribesmen, who are planning a holy war, and due to the stripping ' of India of British troops for ser: vice in France, the situation 1s fraught with peril. By reason of his years of service in that country and his knowledge of the native language, King is or- dered to leave for India at once and endeavor to check the uprising. His order calls for the utmost secrecy and he. returns to his regiment, telling them that he has asked for a transfer. .
