The Bronze Bell (1921)

In the 1850s, a young prince in India promises his dying father he will lead a revolt against the English colonial masters of India. However, since he is half-European himself, he can't bring himself to do it and flees to America, to live in obscurity. He finds, however, that he can't outrun his obligations, and he soon meets a messenger sent from India to remind him of the promise he made to his father. Complications ensue.
