A handsome young American, Otis Madison voIunteers for the French Foreign Legion to fuIfilI an urgent, personaI mission - to find his old, chiIdhood pIaymate, John Geste, rescue him from the horrors of a miIitary prison in the African desert and bring him home to his sweetheart lsobel (Lorettta Young). Thwarted by a fanaticaI force of Arab tribesmen, the unrelenting harshness of the scorching, desert sun, bIinding sandstorms and forced marches, the American born legionnaire is undeterred from his heroic quest.
This tale of bravery and human endurance features spectacular battle scenes and desperate cavalry charges, while vast desert expanses contrast the opulent grandeur of the Emir's royal palace. Long-lost, this sequel continues the saga of Beau Geste - the 1926 epic starring Ronald CoIeman and Victor McLaglen. |
