Synopsis
A relief detachment of the French Foreign Legion arrives at a remote fort in the African desert to find the garrison manned by a force of dead men. After a major finds an adjutant's body pierced by a French bayonet near a dead legionnaire, an Arab attack begins. The bodies then disappear and the story shifts to England: As a boy, Michael "Beau" Geste overhears his aunt, Lady Brandon, telling of a sapphire heirloom, replaced by an imitation. When the gem disappears, Beau, Digby, and John--the three brothers--disappear, each leaving a note assuming the guilt. They join the Foreign Legion, Beau and John serving under brutal Sergeant Lejaune, and Digby, as trumpeter at another post. The men revolt against Lejaune's cruelty, and he determines to get the jewel Beau is rumored to carry, but the garrison is attacked by Arabs and Beau is killed. John revenges his brother by killing Lejaune, and Digby provides Beau with a Viking funeral. Digby also is killed, and John returns home to Isobel, his fiancée.
