Synopsis:
Johnny travels to Fort Louis aboard a plane with the daughter of the fort commander Major Benet. Their plane falls under attack by a group of rebels and Susan is kidnapped. The rebels have cut supply lines to the fort and are demanding a ransom for the girl. Johnny comes to her rescue and challenges the rebel leader Hassin to personal combat. When Hassin resorts to cheating, he is dishonored and his men mutiny. Hassin takes off across the desert, but dies from his own poison. Johnny then returns Susan to her father and mends the differences with the rebels.
