A captain in the French Foreign Legion in North Africa tries to keep the peace and battle bandit tribes while also taking care of his nephew, who lives with him at the Foreign Legion fort.
For Christmas this year, Capt. Gallant has promised Cuffy a trip to America. However, all of the Legions' gifts are stolen from the caravan, and it looks like the captain won't be able to let Cuffy go on his promised trip. Cuffy runs away to try to find the missing presents, and in the process he learns what Christmas is really about.—frankfob2@yahoo.com
