[edit] Plot summary

Sergeant Mike Kincaid learns of an impending attack on a Foreign Legion fort from a Rif prisoner. He volunteers to lead nine Legionnaires, among them Corporal Luis Delgado (Gilbert Roland), to delay the enemy. When he finds out that the Rif leader, Khalid Hussein (Gerald Mohr), is marrying Mahla (Jody Lawrance) in order to cement an alliance with another tribe, Kincaid kidnaps her. Mahla begins to fall in love with her handsome captor, as Hussein pursues the Legionnaires across the desert.
