The Lives of a Bengal Lancer 1935

Set in the spectacle of mystic India with its glittering mosques, oirental palaces, weird music, bronzed nautch dancers

Directed by Henry Hathaway

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.
