The Long Duel

Superintendent Stafford of the United Provinces Police has his men arrest an entire tribe on vague allegations of poaching and theft in British India. Their leader, Sultan, father of young son Munnu, whose wife Tara, is expecting their second child, is also arrested and held in a cell with criminals in Fort Najibabad. Sultan, Tara, and many others manage to break out, but Tara and the newborn both pass away. Sultan, with the help of his men, decides to revolt against the oppressive British--who create a mobile unit, led by Freddy Young, to counter this revolt as well as announce a reward of Rs.500.00 - but Sultan manages to elude them. Then amidst clashes between Freddy and Stafford, and the entry of Jane Stafford, it is made known that Sultan's tribe will be transported by train to a compound in Delhi. This news reaches Sultan and he prepares to attack the train and free his people--little knowing the trap into which he and his men will soon be walking.
