The film is a parody of the classic adventure novel Beau Geste by P.C. Wren. The story follows the adventures of the three Geste brothers, Digby (Michael York), John (Trevor Howard), and Beau (Marty Feldman). The brothers are orphaned at a young age and are forced to live with their brutal aunt Lady Patricia (Peter Ustinov), who treats them poorly. The brothers eventually run away and join the French Foreign Legion, where they face difficult challenges and adventures.

The Last Remake of Beau Geste takes the basic plot of the novel and places it in a zany, over-the-top setting. The film is a hilarious spoof that pokes fun at classic adventure films like Lawrence of Arabia and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
