Gypsy Johnson is captured in an attempt to sneak into Tamah’s camp and get a distress message through. Tamah has Johnson held prisoner and prepped for torture, but Johnson overcomes his guard and escapes. Stealing a horse, he reaches the garrison at Cordova. He informs the Legion, and returns in a two-seater plane to attack the bandits. Parachuting from the plane, Gypsy lands on Sheik Tamah. Tamah is delivered to the Legion officials. The men of the besieged fort are saved.
