Januarja 1879 so Britanci napovedali vojno zoper zulujska plemena v Južni Afriki, v pričakovanju, da njihova dobro oborožena in izurjena armada ne bo imela težkega dela. Garnizija 1350 britanskih vojakov se je pod hribovjem Isandlwana spopadla z več kot 4000 zulujskimi vojščaki in ti so pregazili ter močno zdesetkali Angleže. Po zmagi nad Britanci so se Zulujci odpravili po njihovih sledeh do majhnega misijona Rorke's Drift, ki je služil kot oskrbovalna postaja in ga je stražilo še kakšnih 150 vojakov. V enem dnevu in noči, v sredo 22. januarja 1879 ter še naslednje jutro, je v zaporednih napadih Zulujcev potekalo obleganje majhne postojanke, vendar napadalcem ni uspelo vdreti vanjo in so se naposled umaknili.

Prijatelji in zaročenka mu pošljejo štiri bela peresa in tako ga simbolično označijo za strahopetca ter izdajalca. Da bi opral svoje dobro ime in upravičil nerazumljivo odločitev, se preobleče v Arabca in odpotuje v Sudan, kjer naj bi izza sovražnikovih črt deloval kot britanski izvidnik in obveščevalec. Ko napadejo njegov nekdanji regiment, Faversham pod krinko reši življenje tistih, ki so ga zasmehovali in blatili kot strahopetca.
