Just before his wedding, Peter Remsen discovers his bride in the arms of another man. He tears up their marriage license. To drown his remorse, he hires himself out to the European kingdom of Luzania, where he becomes a general in its army, helping King Lavoris navigate daily conflicts with Belgradia. After achieving victories in several of these daily wars, the King appoints him as his valet.
