Plot

Harry Faversham (played by John Clements) is British army officer who refuses to avenge the death of a legendary general who was murdered some ten years ago. He is awarded three feathers by his officers. When his fiancée fails to defend his stance, he plucks a feather from her fan.

He proves his courage by rescuing his comrades in potentially dangerous and life-threatening situations at enemy lines in North Africa. Harry later returns each of the feathers as proof of his redemption and courage.
