Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Plastered in Paris is a 1928 American synchronized sound comedy film directed by Benjamin Stoloff and starring Sammy Cohen, Jack Pennick and Lola Salvi. While the film has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using the sound-on-film movietone process. It was intended as a parody of Foreign Legion films such as Beau Geste. However, this drew some criticism for its mockery of the Foreign Legion, which an observer compared to the British Guards Regiments as being above parody. In the film, two veterans of the American Legion enlist in the French Foreign Legion by mistake. They are assigned a mission in North Africa. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
