The Legion of Missing Men

"Don" (Ben Alexander) joins the French Foreign Legion where he is teamed up with his brother "Bob" (Ralph Forbes) whom he hasn't seen for many years. They go for a drink where the newcomer falls for local singer "Nina" (Hala Linda) but she has her eye on his unwitting sibling. In any case, "Bob" warns his brother that she is the girlfriend of their "Sgt. Garcia" (George Regas) and so he should leave well alone. Undeterred, he presses his suit and when the sergeant finds out, "Don" is chucked into the brig. With the help of the dodgy Sheik "Ul Ahmed" (Roy D'Arcy) he manages to escape, but it's all a bit fireplace and fire as it soon transpires that the helpful Sheik has a treacherous agenda of his own. It's only an hour long, and there is plenty going on for most of the time. It is just that the acting is really pretty wooden - especially from Hala Linda, and the production standards suggest a very small budget and a very tight filming schedule. D'Arcy steals his scenes as the devious Sheik, but otherwise this is entirely forgettable.
