The Cult of the Assassins

Private Steve Rogers and James Barnes are shipped to India where they are selected to be part of an honor guard for a meeting between Indian and American officials including Viceroy Wavell. As the gathering begins, none are aware that a Princess Ramasi is commanding her followers -- a group of Dacoits who believe her to be the daughter of god Kali -- to assist in the assassination of Wavell.

When Kali enters the palace she pretends to faint, prompting Rogers to scoop her up. While everyone is focused on the princess, the Diacots manage to sneak into the palace unobserved. Ordered to bring the princess up to one of the rooms upstairs, Kali pretends to get better until she realizes that Rogers had placed her near Wavell's room and once more begins to act "faint" in order to turn attention away from her minions. However, this fails as James spots something going on and they rush into Wavell's room. The Diacots flee, and the military officials on the scene find that Wavell's secretary had been strangled to death with a scarf. Furious that her minions killed the wrong person, Kali leaves the scene as well. Steve and James are then ordered to patrol the property to try and find the Diacots and bring them back to face justice.

When out on patrol for the killer of Wavell's secretary, James is almost strangled to death by an attacker, but is saved by Steve. They then break from their unit to investigate as Captain America and Bucky. They make the connection between the attack and Princess Ramasi's fainting spells and decide to pay her temple a visit. There they sneak inside where they witness a massive ceremony to Kali where a white man is about to be sacrificed to the gods. Cap and Bucky fight their way to the man and rescue him. Taking him to safety, they learn that he is the head of British-Indian intelligence and that "Kali" is really a Japanese spy.

Searching the palace they find a cache of weapons but are caught by Kali who holds them at gun point. Recognizing Captain America as Steve Rogers, and having fallen in love with the hero, Kali decides to give him the chance to live by not interfering with her plot to convince the Diacots to revolt against the government. Refusing to stand down, Captain America grabs Kali and uses her as a human shield to keep the Diacots away. As the heroes attempt to flee the intelligence agent grabs the plans of Kali's revolt for later study.

As they attempted to flee, Kali -- deciding her mission is a failure -- then commits suicide, sending the Diacots into a fury. As the battle rages on, oil lamps are knocked over causing a massive fire which only Cap, Bucky and the British intelligence agent manage to escape. With Kali dead and her plans for invasion in the hands of the authorities, Captain America and Bucky return to their civilian guises. Back at base, Sgt. Duffy is exasperated to find a reason how Rogers and Barnes were able to go AWOL for 24 hours an not receive a single reprimand.
