    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The camel spitting in Turkey's face wasn't planned. Bob Hope's recoil and Bing Crosby's reaction were so funny that it was left in the final cut.
    • Goofs
      Orville and Jeff are kissed by an amorous two-humped (Bactrian) camel. The camels in North Africa (Dromedaries) have only one hump. Bactrian camels are a much more the norm in Central Asia.
    • Quotes
      • Turkey Jackson: A fine thing. First, you sell me for two hundred bucks. Then I'm gonna marry the Princess; then you cut in on me. Then we're carried off by a desert sheik. Now, we're gonna have our heads chopped off.
      • Jeff Peters: I know all that.
      • Turkey Jackson: Yeah, but the people who came in the middle of the picture don't.
      • Jeff Peters: You mean they missed my song?
