The story

While American white hunter Ken Duffield is off leading a safari, Mau Mau rebels attack his farm, slaughtering the labourers and his livestock. Duffield's young son Charley and Aunt May defend their home against the mass attack but they do not know that their houseboy Jeroge (a corruption of Njoroge) is actually a Mau Mau general. Inside the farmhouse, Jeroge murders Aunt May with a machete and Charley is killed with May's rifle.
