Plot summary
The Indian province of Kalabar sits near the Khyber Pass, where Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond serves as governor. The 3rd Foot and Mouth Regiment holds the garrison, a Highland unit whose kilted soldiers are reputed to wear nothing beneath their kilts, a belief that makes their enemies fear them. After a run-in with the warlord Bungdit Din, Private Widdle is discovered wearing underpants. The Khasi of Kalabar wants the British gone, and he intends to use that discovery to undermine the regiment's reputation and to stir up a rebellion. British officials try to show in public that the incident was a one-off.
