In the harsh desert of North Africa, Captain Michael Gallant of the Foreign
Legion is stationed on a peacekeeping mission. While gangs and bandits dis-
rupt local villages, Gallant commands a post of well-trained Legionnaires,
leading them into battle and delivering justice wherever it is needed.

Crabbe, plays the role of Cuffy Sanders, an orphan boy that Gallant raises as
his own son.

finds the true meaning of Christmas.
Volume 3
S01E20: "The Dagger of Judah"
Martel, a Legionnaire who has gone straight after serving a prison term meets

Captain Gallant urges that the "kidnapping" take place -- but with Fuzzy and
himself as the hired muscle.

valuable prayer rug, a gift from the French government, to the Caid. When

etition, though -- a beautiful blonde adventuress and an antiques dealer who
is also a master of disguise are offering ten million francs to the thief for
the carpet.

Cuffy's aunt, a relative hitherto unknown to either the lad or the Foreign

Cuffy isn't in every episode...
Note: The physical discs of Volume 1 is beginning to corrupt, and I had a
problem copying it to the hard drive. I ended up just manually copying the
files (as there's no copy-protection on these Alpha Video discs), but one of
the VOB's of one of the trailers would not completely copy, so one of them
will not play.
The VOB's for the TV episodes were fine, so...
