From 1964, this "informational programme" follows the British Army in Aden (Yemen) during the state of emergency in 1964.
Aden was one of the last outposts of the British Empire and a strategic part of the Arabian Gulf guarding access to the Suez Canal. The British colony had become a hotbed of insurgency, supported by Egypt. The film follows British (occuypying) troops as they try to keep order in an increasingly violent mountainous region from where the insurgents regularly attack the Port area.
