Summary:
Capitaine Conan, a dashing soldier who does not let World War I interfere with his pursuit of wine, women and song, leads a band of cutthroat commandos on the front lines of the Bulgarian border. Feared by his enemies and respected by his subordinates, Conan's cunning and blood lust serve him well in war, but when a peace treaty is signed and the soldiers are shipped to Bucharest, Hungary to await further orders, the trouble begins.
