Under Two Flags

Sergeant Victor (Ronald Colman) joins the French Foreign Legion to escape his past. The Legion sends him to Africa and places him under the charge of the cruel Major Doyle. When the woman Doyle loves, performer Cigarette (Claudette Colbert), falls for Victor, the sergeant becomes Doyle's primary target. Ignoring the fact that Victor only has eyes for Lady Venetia (Rosalind Russell), a visiting patrician, Doyle sends him on a dangerous mission to get him out of the picture.
