British army sergeants MacChesney, Cutter and Ballantine function through the 1880s, together side their native water-bearer, Gunga Din. After completing a mission that is telegraph-repair that is dangerous, they exude signs of the suppressed Thuggee cult. The Thuggees captures the Cutter, when the sergeants are told by Gunga Din about a temple made from gold, and it's as much as his friends.
