Ist ja irre - In der Wüste fließt kein Wasser (1967)
Welch Schmach - der englische Gentleman Bertram Oliphant "Bo" West soll beim Cricket unfair gespielt haben - und das vor den Augen seiner Angebeteten Lady Jane. Zu unrecht seiner Ehre beraubt, verlässt Bo mit seinem treuem Diener Simpson England, um in Arabien bei der Fremdenlegion anzuheuern. Doch die Legion erweist sich als recht unkomfortabel für den verwöhnten Bo. Sergeant Nocker macht den beiden Engländern das Leben zur Hölle. Jedoch nur anfangs, denn Bo und Simpson kennen ein Geheimnis Nocker's, das ihn vor dem Kommandanten Burger in Ungnade bringen würde. Fortan genießen die beiden den Aufenthalt bei der Legion, wäre da nicht der blutrünstige Scheich Abdul, der erst Ruhe gibt, wenn er sich der ungläubigen Fremden entledigt hat. Zu allem Pech gerät Lady Jane auch noch in die Fänge des Scheichs, als sie sich auf der Suche nach Bo nach Arabien begibt. Nun gilt es nicht nur das eigene Leben vor dem fanatischen Scheich zu retten ...
