In a tense colonial scene, Miles endures captivity among Zulu led by Stoffel the Arab chief. Plans of attack loom as the Kaffirs and Boer guards pressure him, offering life in exchange for betrayal while the looming massacre tests his resolve and loyalty.
Miles endures torture and near death as Matabele warriors condemn him. Stoffel orders execution but Miles survives bound to a pole in a lagoon. Stoffel and his men cross the river, while Miles is spared to endure a grim night. Miles is later rescued by a hunter and a caretaker, revived, and told that Stoffel’s band heads toward the Matabele country to regroup against whites.
