Beskrivelse
Max Hughes, the unruliest enlisted man in the troupe, almost beats his commander to death in a fist fight. Instead of a dishonorable discharge, he gets recruited into the newly formed OSS, the first functioning secret service agency of the United States during the second world war, to teach hand to hand combat to its agents. He soon gets promoted to a fully-fledged member and is sent to the war theatres to gather intelligence.On a secret mission to obtain the latest Japanese naval code, Max goes to the mysterious land of riches and magic, India; only to find poverty and chaos in the British controlled sub-continent, which is unsuccessfully resisting the Japanese invasion. Max needs to penetrate the elite social circle in the city of Calcutta, who are suspected to be funding the fraction of Indian army fighting along with the Japanese. He should be thinking only of the mission. But the cowboy is entranced by Kavita, the young wife of a diamond merchant, who seems as sensuous as she is unattainable. Burning with desire for the married woman, he momentarily forgets the value of the information he seeks, which may even help in ending the great war of the century, when he can finally go home. But he soon realizes that home is where his heart is.Kavita, the only survivor of the family killed in a British mass shooting, thinks Max is just a brawny American lad caught in the web of espionage, and seduces him to give her all the information she needs to help the Japanese enter into the subcontinent. But soon, the seducer becomes the seduced. She has to choose between avenging the death of her family or realizing that she is on the wrong side of the history.
