His routine is shattered with the arrival of his former lover, Lady Edwina Esketh Myrna Loy who has since married the elderly Lord Esketh Nigel Bruce. Lady Edwina first sets out to seduce, then gradually falls in love with, Major Rama Safti Tyrone Power who represents the new India.Ranchipur is devastated by an earthquake, which causes a flood, which causes a cholera epidemic. Lord Esketh dies and Lady Esketh renounces her hedonistic life in favor of helping the sick alongside Major Safti. Unfortunately, she becomes infected and dies, making it possible for Safti to become the ruler of a kingdom that he will presumably reform. In the course of the story, a missionarys daughter, Fern Simon Brenda Joyce, and Ransome also fall in love. ........
