Synopsis : 

The Khyber, a cruiser of the Royal Indian Navy takes part in an attack on Genoa in August 1943 and is used by the British as buffer against Italian bombardment. 

Afterwards, the ship is held by the Germans, but the sailors' families living in the waterfront slums of Bombay have no news of it and give up their men as dead.

When the khyber is finally released in 1946 and is way home, the sailors, incensed at the treatment meted out to them, rebel against their British Officers. The mutiny breaks out on 18 February, and when the ship reaches Bombay, the mutineer Saxena tries to avoid bloodshed
