Based on the 1968 novel "Legion of Outcasts" by Hurk Davis, the autobiography of Peter Reeves as told to Mr. Davis, who was a Dutchman living comfortably until he ran out of money and went to America to work for fifteen years. Upon returning home for a family wedding, Reeves is shunned by his parents yet again and he goes to Paris and eventually joins the French Foreign Legion, where he trains to be a medic. Soon, he ends up in the middle of the Algerian Civil War and is captured by enemies and held in a prisoner of war camp for six months.
