He begins collecting members of the legion to help him choosing a young American Frank, Irishman Patrick, Englishman Roger & German Hans-Peter. But quickly the men argue & fight among themselves & over the beautiful Marie France who ends up pregnant. Raoul struggles to trust all his men & his suspicions are proved to be true years later when Frank dies in suspicious circumstances & it comes to light that there was a traitor in the group after the money for himself. Commissar Minh intends to grab the second cache of gold and Kill Rapul who has to face the fact that someone in his team has betrayed him. Who is the traitor? It’s a race against time to find the guilty man before even more men are killed.
