Synopsis:
In the 1820's, in Indian, the British East India Company territory is menaced by the unexplained disappearance of thousands of travelers each year. Captain Lewis (Guy Rolfe), a company officer, unearths a fantastic religious cult - Thuggees - who worship Kali, Goddess of destruction; they murder their victims with a silk cloth, rob them and intern the bodies in mass graves. Lewis, after some inter-office politics, is put in charge of suppressing the Thuggees.
