THE FOUR FEATHERS
Harry Faversham a newly commission 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 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.
