During World War I, the young lieutenant in charge of a small British mounted patrol in the empty Mesopotamian desert is shot and killed by an unseen sniper. The eleven remaining men reach a deserted oasis where they find water, dates to eat and shelter. The pilot of a British biplane spots the survivors, but nonchalantly lands nearby and is killed. After dark, the sergeant takes the machine gun from the aircraft and then sets the plane on fire.
