The atmosphere is volatile in the South African province of the
Transvaal at the start of 1880. The discovery of diamonds has bred
greed as a strong anti-British feeling is taking hold amongst the
Boer farmers and the bePedi tribe continues to rampage after the
defeat of their Zulu allies. Former captain Simon Fonthill and his
servant, "352" Jenkins, receive a cry for help from an old friend
who has been kidnapped on South Africa's new diamond frontier. The
pair must go to her aid before redeeming a promise to act as army
scouts in this increasingly turbulent region. When the acclaimed
British hero General Wolseley decides to lead his column against
the impenetrable stronghold of the bePedi, Fonthill and Jenkins
once again find themselves marching to war.
