Discovered as a baby on the battlefield, tomboy Marie has been raised by the soldiers of the 21st regiment. Her ‘father’, Sergeant Sulpice, only wants her to marry within their ranks. Not a problem, says Tyrolean peasant Tonio, promptly joining the troops to be with Marie. But when the Marquise de Berkenfield crosses paths with the regiment, a long-buried secret about Marie’s past is revealed, placing her romantic plans in jeopardy. Can love conquer all?
