Summary
In late 19th-century India, two former British soldiers, Daniel Dravot and Peachy Carnehan, set out on an audacious scheme to travel to the remote land of Kafiristan and crown themselves kings. Armed with rifles and bravado, they win over the locals through battlefield cunning, but their ambitions are tested when Daniel begins to believe in his own myth. Adapted from Rudyard Kipling's story, the tale is recounted by a battered Peachy to Kipling himself.
