A lighthearted slapstick comedy romp through the Foreign Legion, built on physical humor, mistaken identities, and the bumbling charm of its comedic duo.
Jonesy and Lou are in Algeria looking for a wrestler they are promoting. Sergeant Axmann tricks them into joining the Foreign Legion, after which they discover Axmann's collaboration with the nasty Sheik Hamud El Khalid.
