Another very funny vehicle for Abbott & Costello -- this time in a sultan's kingdom in the Middle East. I'd forgotten just how funny Lou Costello was...and he certainly is here. A highlight is the old "Slowly I turn, step by step" routine, with Costello being the recipient of the repeated rage.
Some things seem a bit odd, like how does Jimmy Dorsey's orchestra end up in Arabia? Depending on how enamored you are with certain routines by Abbott & Costello, you'll be pleased or disappointed when they show up...again. Some are classics, and bear repeating. But if you watch several of their films over a short period, it gets to be a bit much. There is one quite good dance number.
The plot here is pretty simple -- Abbott & Costello have to save an American girl from having to marry the local sheik. It's pretty standard Abbot & Costello fare, but it is funny!
