The story

In the colonial era, Morasi is the son of Suliman, chief of the Maru peoples. When his father dies, Morasi must prove himself a worthy successor, which he chooses to do by honouring the tradition of "the scarlet spear" – dipping his weapon in the blood of a rival chief. Fearing that Morasi's murderous actions may spark a tribal war, British District Officer Jim Barneson tries to prevent him.
