Carry on Up the Khyber

1895 in British Colonial India. While treating each other openly with respect, the British and Indian aristocracy truly do not trust or like the other, the Indian in particular who would like to drive the British out of the region, killing them if need be. However, the Indian fear the British military, who they coin the "devil in dresses" in their kilt uniforms. That fear disappears at least for the Khasi of Kalabar when he discovers something that makes the "devils" appear foolish instead: that they wear underpants under their kilts and do not go au naturel. While this information was only initially passed on to him second hand by his comrade Bungdit Din, he personally receives visual evidence from Lady Ruff-Diamond, the wife of Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond, the British Governor of Kalabar, in the form of a photograph. In her desire for the Khasi, she will not hand over the photograph until she gets what she wants which is to have her way with him. If he can get his hands on the photograph, he would have the evidence needed to convince the Afghans to attack the British forces. Sir Ruff-Diamond's men, led by Captain Keene, thus go on a mission to retrieve the photograph in order to protect their feared status. While they may be aided by the Khasi's daughter, Princess Jehli, who has fallen mutually in love with Keene, the British propensity for a stiff upper lip will ultimately factor into what happens with the potential Afghan uprising against them.
