Posing as a deserter, the young and illiterate private Richard Sharpe must penetrate into the Tippoos city and make contact with a Scottish spy being held prisoner there. Success will mean winning his sergeant stripes; failure, being turned over to the Tippoos brutal executioners or his man-eating tigers.
