THE FOUR FEATHERS
Harry Faversham a newly commissioned British
officer celebrates his engagement to Ethne. It is announced that the regiment
is being sent to Sudan to rescue “Chinese” Gordon. Harry has serious doubts about the ethicality of
the war and resigns his commission. His father, three friends, Edward, Jack and
Trench and his fiancé all disown him, with Ethne and three friends sending him
the white feather of cowardice. When he learns the regiment has come under
attack, Harry journeys to the Sudan alone and becomes allied with Abou Fatma,
an Arab. They discover the fortress of Abu Klea to which the regiment is
marching has been overrun by the enemy. Harry sends Abou to warn the regiment,
but they disregard him and march onwards. On January 17, 1885 [1:08:16 to
1:19:54], the regiment is attacked and has to form a defensive square. Edward
Castleton, who had given Harry a feather is killed in this battle. Harry saves
Jack’s life after he is blinded during the battle and gets him transported back
to England, where Jack becomes engaged to Ethne. Harry rescues Trench from the
prison where he was placed after being captured and returns with Trench to
England. When Jack learns it was Harry who saved him, he releases Ethne from
their engagement. Ethne reclaims her
feather and Harry as her fiancée.
