Con l'aiuto di un piccolo portatore d'acqua, i soldati di Sua Maestà Britannica in India sfuggono a un'imboscata dei Thugs. Un nonsense d'avventura con innesti di commedia tra i più piacevoli e meglio confezionati mai prodotti a Hollywood. Una vacanza per lo spirito. Ispirato a una ballata di Rudyard Kipling, fu sceneggiato dalla celebre coppia Ben Hecht-Charles McArthur. Raro cocktail di umorismo ed epica
