| ~Beau Sabreur~ 1928 |
| ~Plot Synopsis~ |
Legionnaires Henri de Beaujolais (Gary Cooper), Raoul de Redon (Arnold Kent), and Dufour (Raoul
Paoli) overstay their leave in Algiers and are thrown into jail. There Henri earns the title "Beau
Sabreur," given him by his uncle, General Beaujolais (Frank Reicher), when he wins a duel with a
traitor, Becque (William Powell). The general, who has plans for the Sahara, entreats Henri to forsake
women for France, sending him first to the desert to learn the customs of the people, then to Zaguig,
where he meets American journalist Mary Vanbrugh (Evelyn Brent), whom he snubs, remembering his
vow. Becque, hearing that Henri has orders to visit Sheikh El Hammel (Noah Beery) at a distant oasis to
discuss a treaty, and hoping to prevent his departure, attacks Zaguig, but Henri escapes with Mary, her
maid, and his aides. Out of distrust for Becque, the sheikh agrees to a treaty with the French, and they
resist an attack led by the vengeful Becque. Henri kills Becque in a duel and, having accomplished his
task for France, confesses he loves Mary.
