Two young sprinters from Australia named Archy and Frank want to enlist in the military out of a sense of responsibility. The two take a freight train to Perth after being rejected because they are too young to join up. After receiving training in the shadow of the Great Pyramids, the boys are ultimately deployed to the front lines, where their speed makes them ideal candidates for messenger roles in one of the bloodiest fights of the war. They board a troop ship bound for Cairo.
