Beau Geste

Beau Geste is a 1924 novel by P. C. Wren, which has been adapted to film several times.

Plot

Although minor plot points separate the versions, all of the versions share a common element of a stolen gem, which one of the Geste brothers, Michael "Beau" Geste, is thought to have stolen from his adoptive family. He subsequently runs away to join the French Foreign Legion; in some adaptations, more than one of the Geste brothers joins him or goes to find him.
