Tunes of Glory plot
"Colonel Jock Sinclair drank with his men... and sang and danced with them... until that day, when a shot rang out... and he stood alone!"
Jock Sinclair is a Scottish Major who is temporarily placed in charge of a regiment. He is someone from the lower classes of society who has worked his way up. A beloved man, but sometimes a little too rough. Colonel Basil Barrow is then put in charge of the regiment, an upper-class man who has gone through all the good schools and loves discipline. The two commanders clash almost immediately.
