A group of veteran British Army sergeants, headed by an ultra-correct Regimental Sergeant Major (Richard Attenborough), is caught between two dissident factions in an unnamed newly created African state (most likely Kenya, since the character of RSM Lauderdale mentions that the Turkana people people live in the north, which is where they live in Kenya. The African soldiers also speak amongst themselves in Kiswahili, the lingua franca of the region). The story neatly exposes the feelings of the professional Non-commissioned officer, their officers and the African soldiers and officers, who are still painfully new to both guns and political slogans.
