Part One Episode 1

A relief column led by Major de Beaujolais approaches Fort Zinderneuf, only to find the garrison apparently slaughtered. Legionnaire Digby Geste offers to climb in to investigate, but then seems to disappear himself. The Major enters, and finds a letter grasped in the dead hand of Sergeant-Major Lejaune, mentioning a Lady Brandon, in England. Before investigating further, the fort goes up in flames. Prompted by the letter, de Beaujolais recalls visiting Lady Brandon years earlier, when she was bringing up her three nephews, Digby, John and Michael 'Beau' Geste.

The brothers have returned to Brandon Abbas from university, when a valuable family heirloom, the 'Blue Water' sapphire, goes missing.

To protect Michael, Digby also departs, taking the blame in a note left for John; John, though, guesses that they will have both gone to join the French Foreign Legion, and quietly leaves to do likewise.

The brothers are reunited after being sent to Oran with a draft of new recruits. Their Sergeant-Major, Lejaune, takes a disliking to the trio, and also to two American recruits, Hank and Buddy.

Boldini informs Lejaune that Michael has a stolen jewel on him. After Boldini fails to talk two recruits to steal it for him, Lejaune himself persuades former pickpocket Bolidar to do so. He is caught, and narrowly evades lynching. Lejaune, though, knows that they are to be sent to the isolated Fort Zinderneuf, where it will be easier to isolate Michael from his friends.

Part Eight Episode 8

John kills Lejaune in the struggle, and then flees the fort on the approach of the relief column. Digby finds Michael's body and, remembering a childhood promise, gives it a Viking funeral – on a pyre – before fleeing himself. He finds John and they set off on foot, but is killed; only John is able to reach England where he returns the Blue Water to Lady Brandon – as Michael had known, a copy made when she had been forced to sell the original.
