Sgt. Victor (Serious Honey Ronald Colman) is in the Foreign Legion because he took the rap for someone else, and of course is vindicated and also gets the rich girl (a very young Rosalind Russell, yowza!) at the end.

This is a lot of fun, actually, even with my husband pointing out that half the time what they called the 'Foreign Legion' was actually the Chausseurs D'Afrique (cavalry) instead...but we'll let Historian on a Stick sit alone, muttering into his goatee, and get on with the movie.

Brainless amusement. Good scenes, Claudette Colbert as the beautiful native/Eurasian girl in love with the aristocratic guy, you know she's gonna get bumped off to get her out of the way, but she's so great to watch, and cute as a button. The scenes are good, the plot moves quickly enough that you don't notice the huge holes (like Colbert's conveniently disappearing father) too much.

Get some popcorn and enjoy, don't expect great literature or moviemaking, but it's certainly fun.
