Stock footage of Yemen's Saudi Arabia - backed Royalist forces battling against the ruling Republicans and their Egyptian Allies. A musical track accompanies the actuality sound through most of the film. Footage shows: various views of a burnt out Egyptian track; the boaies and skeletons of Republican troops lying in wind-swept sands; the Yemen countryside where fighting has taken place; Royalist troops firing on Republicans with machine guns and ritles; a Red Cross flag and a hospital where a surgeon stitches a soldier's wounded face; a bombed pro-Royalist village; captured Egyptian troops with their feet shackled climbing the stairs of a fort while their Royalist Captors look on; Royalist leader Imam (King) Mohammed Al Badr being greeted at headquarters; Royalist forces doing a war dance before going into battle; night fighting; and Royalists heading back to camp. The footage, shot before a ceasefire, was used in a long background news item. <5mn>
