One hint, 6 chances, and a new movie to guess every day
Gilbert Thurstan, deputy inspector of the British Civil Service Commission in India, is warned by a physician that his wife, Emily, cannot remain in the hot climate where he is stationed, and he applies to his superior, Vincent Chalmers, for a transfer. Vincent is enamored with Emily and sends Gilbert to a post in Kajra, where the previous inspector died of fever. Emily goes to Simla at her husband's behest, with Vincent in pursuit. While he attempts to romance Emily, her ailing husband clashes with Hindu fanatics but manages to quell them single-handedly. Emily rejects Vincent, who is wracked with guilt over his treatment of Gilbert and travels to Kajra to relieve him of his appointment. Gilbert is reassigned to another city, where Emily happily awaits him.
