Storyline

Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond looks after the British outpost near the Khybar pass. Protected by the kilted Third Foot and Mouth regiment, you would think they were safe. But the Khazi of Kalabar has other ideas. He wants all the British dead! But his troops fear the "skirted-devils"; they are rumoured not to wear anything underneath. Then one is caught with his pants on... Written by Simon N. McIntosh-Smith <Simon.N.Smith@cs.cf.ac.uk>

Goofs

Factual errors: The film is set in 1895. When dictating a communication to Queen Victoria, Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond adds a PS "Love to Albert". Prince Albert, Victoria's husband, died in 1861, 34 years before the film's events supposedly take place. See more »
