While the film has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using the sound-on-film movietone process. It was intended as a parody of Foreign Legion films such as Beau Geste. However, this drew some criticism for its mockery of the Foreign Legion, which an observer compared to the British Guards Regiments as being above parody.[2]
In the film, two veterans of the American Legion enlist in the French Foreign Legion by mistake. They are assigned a mission in North Africa.
