Arabian princess Dorothy Granger has all the sheiks pining for her, but she loves Hollywood singing cowboy Harry Gribbon. When she discovers Gribbon is to wed Babe Kane, Miss Granger has one of her devotees steal Gribbon's trusty steed, Trixie. Gribbon cannot wed until he recovers Trixie, so he goes in search of her. Five years later, he is in the Foreign Legion.
Mack Sennett had his staff do satires of western movies several times in the silent and sound era, usually to great effect. This time, they tackle not only horse operas, but the sort of operetta in which valiant members of the Foreign Legion -- which one is unspecified -- deal with the mysterious denizens of North Africa with Sigmund Romberg tunes. Gribbon, for a change is pretty funny, and Miss Kane, although her role is small, falls off her horse very amusingly.
