“MEN BATTLE FOR THEIR LIVES... WOMEN FIGHT FOR THEIR LOVE... IN A MIGHTY SAGA OF CONQUEST ON INDIA'S FRONTIER”

Synopsis

Prince Azim (Sabu) is a young boy in the India of the British Raj, loyal to the British officers who pass through his father's lands. His uncle, Prince Ghul (Raymond Massey), plans to wipe out the troops as they sit down to eat in Ghul's palace. Zoltan Korda shot it in Technicolor, and everything rests on Azim and Captain Carruthers (Roger Livesey), a soldier who trusts the boy and can't see the danger.
