In the Northwest Frontier of India, the 41st Bengal Lancers led by the harsh Colonel Tom Stone are having trouble with the rebellious leader Mohammed Khan. Surly McGregor and wry, blue-blooded Forsythe are officers in charge of newcomer Lieutenant Stone, the commanding officer’s inexperienced son. Motivated by a grudge toward his father, Lt. Stone allows himself to be captured by the enemy.

Gary Cooper is one of the few classic actors that I don’t typically enjoy, and this is another example. His stuff and dullness almost undoes the entertainment of the rest of the cast. Everyone is good and the story is too.
