Die Täuscher (1988)
Indien 1825. William Savage, Steuereintreiber der britischen East India Company wird zufällig Zeuge eines Massakers. Bei seinen Nachforschungen findet er den Inder Hussein, einen der Attentäter. Dieser klärt den Briten über die Existenz der Sekte der Täuscher auf, die im Namen der Gottheit Kali Ritualmorde begeht. Verkleidet als einfacher Weber gelingt es Savage mit Husseins Hilfe, in die Sekte eingeführt zu werden. Sein alter Freund Chandra Singh verrät den Fremden schließlich, und die Jagd auf den Eindringling beginnt. In letzter Minute kann die britische Armee Savage retten.
