The story, set in 1898, follows
a British officer who resigns his post when he learns
of his regiment's plans to ship out to the Sudan
for the conflict with the Mahdi. His friends and
fiancee send him four white feathers which symbolize
cowardice. To redeem his honor he disguises himself
as an Arab and secretly saves the lives of those
who branded him a coward.
