    Plot

    [edit]

    Superintendent Stafford of the United Provinces Police has his men arrest an entire tribe on vague allegations of poaching and theft in British India. Sultan, their leader, is also arrested and held in a cell with criminals in Fort Najibabad. Sultan, his wife Tara and many others manage to break out, but Tara and her newborn child both die. Sultan, with the help of his men, revolts against the oppressive British, leading to bitter battles and a final showdown.
