Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond is Queen Victoria's Governor in the British India province of Khalabar near the Khyber Pass. The province is defended by the feared 3rd Foot and Mouth Regiment , who are said to not wear anything under their kilts. When Private Widdle is found wearing underpants after an encounter with Bungdit Din , chief of the warlike Burpa tribe, the Khasi of Khalabar plans to use this information to incite an anti-British rebellion.
