Plot summary: In 1854 in India during the Crimean War the garrison of the 27th Lancers is attacked and massacred by Surat Khan [C. Henry Gordon] while the regiment itself is out on maneuvers. The victims are mostly women and children. Major Geoffrey Vickers later takes personal vengeance against Surat Khan in a suicidal charge during the Battle of Balaclava (25 October 1854).
