Synopsis

Au Kurdistan, lors de la Première Guerre mondiale, Michael Andrews, un officier britannique, est sauvé par John Stevenson, un agent des services secrets. Les deux hommes sauvent ensuite une tribu kurde en les conduisant à travers les montagnes. Lorsque John tue un espion ennemi, Michael le soupçonne de jouer double jeu mais il se fracture la jambe. Au Caire, Michael est soigné par Rosemary Haydon et en tombe amoureux. Mais Rosemary lui révèle qu'elle est déjà mariée à un espion britannique, mais qu'elle ne l'a pas vu depuis plusieurs années. Il s'avère que ce mari est en fait John Stevenson qui, lorsqu'il se rend compte que Rosemary ne l'aime plus, décide d'assassiner Michael. Ce dernier a été affecté au Soudan. Peu après l'arrivée de John, le fort est attaqué par des tribus africaines, et John et Michael sont les seuls survivants. John risque sa vie en traversant le désert pour trouver des renforts, et meurt à son retour dans les bras de Michael.

Jerry Corbett (Fredric March), a Chicago reporter and self-styled playwright, meets heiress Joan Prentice (Sylvia Sydney) at a party and they begin dating. Even though Jerry's economic prospects are dim and he is an alcoholic, he proposes to Joan. She agrees to marry him, against her father's objections. Even when Jerry becomes completely inebriated just before (and ruins, as far as Joan is concerned) their engagement party, Joan stands by him. Jerry writes some plays which are rejected, and fights the urge to drink. He manages to sell a play and they go to New York to see it produced. The star of the production is Jerry's former girlfriend Claire, and on the premiere night he gets stinking drunk, and mistakes Joan for Claire. Still, Joan stands by him. But, when Joan catches Jerry trying to go to Claire's one night she kicks him out. The following day she tells him that they will have a "modern marriage" and that she intends to have affairs herself.

As described in a film magazine, Grim Gordon (Strong) is in possession of the Tiger Idol, stolen from a religious sect of Hindu Tiger Worshipers on an East Indian island which he and Peter Strong and Colonel Boyd visited years earlier. The two latter men were killed, but Belle Boyd (Roland), daughter of the Colonel, is alive and has part of the "Pact of Three," a document torn into three parts which shows the location of a treasure discovered during the expedition. Gordon has a pitchblende mine in the western United States, and among the workers are Hindus and Tiger Worshipers. Upon her arrival from an eastern school, Belle Boyd, ward of Gordon, is attacked by a gang of outlaws headed by Bull Shotwell (Kohler), but her life is saved by Jack Randall (Larkin), a mining engineer. Jack is employed by Gordon, but helps the heroine Belle in outwitting the evil forces surrounding her that are attempting to obtain her portion of the torn Pact of Three. In one episode Belle is put into a cage with a live Bengal tiger, and in others she is the subject of several kidnapping attempts.

Four young men from various walks of life sign up as flyers for the Lafayette Escadrille, a military unit known as "The Legion of the Condemned" composed mostly of American volunteer pilots flying fighters in World War I. All four men are running away from something—the law, love, or themselves. Whenever a dangerous mission comes up, the four men draw cards to see who will fly off to near-certain doom. With his best friend Byron Dashwood (Barry Norton) already having died in combat, Gale Price (Gary Cooper) draws the high card next time around.
