During the Great War, a Negro corporal, Jericho Jackson, disobeys an order and saves crewmen trapped below deck after an attack.

He bolts and his captain unjustly gets a five-year sentence for aiding his escape; the captain vows to bring Jackson to justice. Meanwhile, Jackson has stolen a boat and sailed from Bordeaux to Morocco, where his skills as a physician give him a new lease on life. He becomes a chief responsible for negotiating peace among tribes and leading the annual grand salt caravan. A confrontation with his old captain is, however, unavoidable. Can there be justice?
