Gerald O’Hara, a young officer in the Anglo-Indian Army, is in love with his Colonel’s daughter. One day he sees Harab, an Indian merchant, unmercifully beating one of his servants, who has fallen beneath a heavy burden. Kimra, the servant, is found to be very ill, and is ordered by the doctor and the Colonel to the hospital. When he recovers, Gerald takes him into his service. The regiment is sent up-country to a small fort. The Indian mutiny breaks out and the fort is surrounded and cut off. Gerald volunteers to try and break through the lines and Kimra says that he will go with him. They escape from the fort disguised as beggars. They return, however, and spy upon the camp and learn of the plans of their enemies. Then they steal a couple of horses and dash forth on their journey. After several adventures they reach the camp of a British regiment and lead them back to the fort in time to rescue the besieged. Ruth is restored to Gerald’s arms and the faithful Kimra praised and congratulated by all.
