Summary

• An adaptation of the best-selling novel, this powerful drama features a star-studded cast and spectacular Oscar-winning special effects. Set in mythical Ranchipur, India, this visually thrilling epic is in the classic tradition of films about the aftermath of nature's fury. When lashing monsoon rains, massive flooding and a destructive earthquake strike, a handsome surgeon, Major Rama Safti (Tyrone Power) and his consort, the beautiful Lady Esketh (Myrna Loy), must look deep within themselves to rebuild their lives -- and their souls. - Container
• An Indian aristocrat Rama Safti returns from medical training in the U.S. to give his life to the poor folk of Ranchipur. Lady Edwina and her drunken artist ex-lover Ransome get in the way, but everyone shapes up when faced with disaster
