This film does not show the succession of King Amanullah after his murdered father, King Habibullah, in 1919, but it shows the end of the reign of King Amanullah in 1929, and his successor Habibullah Kalakani, called 'Bacha-e Saqqao' (son of the water-carrier). In addition it shows the rescue of the European community from Kabul to Peshawar by the British Royal Air Force: the very first airlift.
