Blending imperial intrigue, personal sacrifice, and colonial-era action, the film was a major technical and storytelling shift for Ford as he transitioned from silent films to talkies.

Synopsis:
Set during World War I, the story follows Captain Donald King, a heroic officer in the British Black Watch regiment, who is pulled from his unit to serve a secret mission in India. Forced to hide his real assignment, he is labeled a coward by his comrades, even as he risks everything in covert service to the empire.
