Overview
British army sergeants Ballantine, Cutter and MacChesney serve in India during the 1880s, along with their native water-bearer, Gunga Din. While completing a dangerous telegraph-repair mission, they unearth evidence of the suppressed Thuggee cult. When Gunga Din tells the sergeants about a secret temple made of gold, the fortune-hunting Cutter is captured by the Thuggees, and it’s up to his friends to rescue him.

Viewing Notes
A rousing good action adventure film. The influence on INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM is pretty clear.
Cary Grant, Victor McLaglen, and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. make a nice comic trio. I love it when Cary Grant, trying to create a diversion, marches up in front of a temple-full of murderous Thuggees and announces, “You’re all under arrest!”
