Trapped in the turmoil‑ridden province of Ghandahar during India's early independence, arms dealer Steve Gibbs lands his cargo‑filled plane hoping to profit. Pacifist Prime Minister Singh seeks a pact with guerrilla leader Khan, while the foolish maharajah and British cling to the past. Steve falls for Joan Willoughby, the blind daughter of a parson.
