Description
Presented for the first time on DVD in the UK, King Of The Khyber Rifles is a
classic action adventure by legendary Hollywood director Henry King (The Black
Swan, The Gunfighter, Twelve O clock High).
Set in colonial India in 1857, Tyrone Power stars as British army officer
Captain King. Sent to the threatened garrison post of Peshawar he is shunned by
his fellow officers because he is half Indian. The goodwill of his commanding
officer, General Maitland (Michael Rennie), is further tested when the General s
daughter, Susan (Terry Moore), falls in love with him.
Ordered to train the fierce, native Khyber Riflemen into an efficient
fighting regiment, King is driven to prove his loyalty to the Crown by quelling
a brutal uprising that is led by his Indian boyhood friend (Guy Rolfe). King s
first fight, however, will be to win the respect of the men of the Khyber
Rifles.
