The title role of this film is played by Wallace Beery who is a Union Army sergeant
and The Man From Dakota. Beery was fighting on the Dakota frontier before the
Civil War broke out. He's a POW with John Howard who is a lieutenant from Boston and a Brahman believer in the cause of the Union.
Under some unusual circumstances they're thrown togather with Dolores Del Rio who is a Russian noble. She's got possession of a map that is unfortunately in Russian that the Union Army would like to have. Howard wants to see they get it, but Beery wants to just escape and go home.
These three are most unwilling partners, but they have to work together.
A Russian with the Confederacy would have been unusual enough. The Czar Alexander II was most strong in his sympathy for the Union cause.
Routine programmer for MGM which relies on the lovable mug personality of Wallace Beery. I'd say he barely gets it across the finish line.
