Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Colonel Harte, commander of a fortress in India, is terrified by the sudden information that His Majesty’s Hindu subjects are planning a revolt. The plan of the fortress is missing, and suspicion points to Captain Powner who is engaged to marry Colonel Harte's daughter. Powner’s protestations of innocence are fruitless. He is condemned to be shot at sunrise. Ralph, the Colonel’s son, and in reality the guilty wretch, is conscience-stricken. He frees the Captain and bids him fly for his life. Ralph, broken by remorse, confesses his guilt on paper, then takes his own life. Captain Powner is captured by the followers of the leader of the mutineers, and once more is condemned to death. However, he saves the son of Din Zerda from a tiger, and in a fight with the tiger’s mate is only saved from death by stumbling upon the corpse of Ralph, and finding the dead man’s pistol.
