 Beau Geste" is the story of three brothers whose love for each other carries them from comfortable home in England into the wastes of Africa. and war with the Arabs. as Itt!i-btfS or luc | lCuCN OrtlSN l.e- zion. In the background of the plot Is the mystery of q priceless sapphire which disappears.
