The fort is on high alert because Major General Falcos will present a valuable prayer rug, a gift from the French government, to the Caid. When the rug is stolen from the importer's shop, Captain Gallant has less than four hours to recover the gift before the ceremony. He's got a lot of competition, though - a beautiful blonde adventuress and a antiques dealer who is also master of disguise are offering ten million francs to the thief for the carpet.
