Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Bulgaria near the end of World War I: Conan, warrior and wolf, leads a band of 50 ruthless French fighters who love hand-to-hand combat. Their motto: "We forgot to take prisoners, Captain." At war's end, the unit goes to Bucharest, where Conan tries to keep them out of trouble, defends them when they behave as warriors, and finds he's unsuited for peacetime. His friendship with Norbert, a teacher turned lieutenant, is tested when Norbert accepts a job as court-martial prosecutor because he's learned that Conan will be facing charges and he wants to protect his friend. When they are sent to the Russian border to fight Bolsheviks, Conan is back in his element and Norbert is off the hook.

Did You Know?
| Goofs | Although the film goes to praiseworthy lengths to be faithful in the accurate recreation of costumes of the era, including uniforms, there are some inaccuracies. During the assault in the mountains, a pair of Senegalese Riflemen (Tirailleurs Sénégalais) can be seen wearing their recognisable red fez, waistbands and dark blue uniforms. However, the film takes place in 1918 and the colonial soldiers would not have worn this uniform since 1915. Instead they would have worn the same khaki uniforms and Adrian helmets as the rest of the Balkans expeditionary corps, khaki dress that colonial troops would have also worn on the Western Front, to differentiate themselves from the 'Horizon Blue' wearing 'metropolitan' (mainland France) troops.
