Storm over the Nile plot
"Turmoil in the great Egyptian desert !"
In 1885, while his regiment is being sent to the Sudan to fight against the rebellious dervish tribes, British Lieutenant Harry Faversham resigns as an officer to remain in England with his betrothed Mary. His friends and fellow officers label him a coward and hand him the white feathers of cowardice. Mary adds a fourth feather and breaks off their engagement. Faversham decides to regain his honor by fighting unrecognizably in Sudan. There, Faversham uses various disguises and tricks to save the lives of his former fellow officers who called him a coward.
