There's a bit of Rudyard Kipling to this quite colourful story from Zoltan Korda telling of the ruthless "Ghul" (Raymond Massey) who usurps his brother after he makes a treaty with the British. Luckily, the heir "Azim" (Sabu) manages to escape the coup and make his way to "Capt. Carruthers" (Roger Livesey) who is to return to "Tokot" as an emissary but who might well be walking into a deadly trap ...
