Beau Geste

Episode 1

Episode #1.1

A relief column led by Major de Beaujolais approaches Fort Zinderneuf, only to find the garrison apparently all dead. Legionnaire Digby Geste offers to climb in to investigate, but then seems to disappear himself. The Major then enters, and finds a letter grasped in the dead hand of Sergeant-Major Lejaune, mentioning a Lady Brandon, in England. Before being able to investigate further, the fort bursts into flames. Prompted by the letter, de Beaujolais recalls visiting Lady Brandon years earlier, when she was also bringing up her three nephews, Digby, John and Michael 'Beau' Geste.
