Charlotte, the beautiful young wife of the Vice-Consul, had insulted the Rajah’s son. In 1938 India this created a political crisis. The British agreed that, to placate the Indians, Charlotte would be dealt with by the locals. Sentenced to a public paddling and 30 days incarceration, she came under the thumb of Murugan, a cruel policeman who subjects her to further punishment and sexual abuse.
