Leave it to Bud and Lou to leave their legion of fans laughing! When their star wrestler returns to Algeria after refusing to throw a match, shady promoters Bud Jones (Abbott) and Lou Hotchkiss (Costello) head after him - straight into huge trouble. Tricked into joining the Foreign Legion by a scheming sergeant, Jones and Hotchkiss soon find themselves at odds with a ruthless sheik and his band of deadly assassins. But naturally, the boys ensure the bad guys get their just desserts in this hilarious desert classic.
