A documentary on the Boer War presented by Kenneth Griffith who assumes the roles of the protagonists in the struggle. He tells how gold-diggers were drawn to South Africa, and in a scathing critique of British involvement in the war, Griffith describes key moments in the conflict and assesses the war's influence on South Africa's future. The actions of Neville Chamberlain and British army commanders come under close scrutiny, and the film also includes footage of interviews with veterans of the Boer War conducted by Griffith himself.
