Abbott & Costello play Bud Jones & Lou Hotchkiss, two wrestling promoters who try to track down their wayward Arabian wrestler, who has gone back home to Algiers. Upon arrival, they are tricked by a rival sheik into joining the Foreign Legion, where their lives are threatened, yet many comedic mishaps ensue, including an extended sequence of being lost in the desert, desperate for water, and seeing mirages, including an oasis of fresh water. Or is it a mirage, and will these guys make it out alive? Mediocre film in which the desert mirage sequence is by far the highlight. Otherwise, this is very familiar stuff that just isn't so funny this time around.
