aka The Stranglers of Bengal.1820's India and Capt Lewis is on the trail of a Kali worshiping religious cult that is robbing and killing the caravans. He gets frustrated when he is taken off the case and replaced by Capt Smith, who knows nothing off and cares little for Indian culture. Lewis resigns when no-one will take his talk of the Thuggees seriously and vows to continue his investigations.
At the time this was considered extremely violent, with eyes branded, tongues pulled out and a man who literally jumps into a hangman's noose to die. All in all it's a much darker film than Hammer usually make but still a fast paced adventure.
