Ali-Baba Bound
Cartoon
In the Sahara Desert, where it is so hot even the fan dancers use electric fans, Porky Pig is in the French Foreign Legion. While leaving a restaurant he gets a message labelled Confessions of a Nasty Spy from a caricature of George Raft as a spy named Tattle Tale Gray that Ali-Baba and his dirty sleeves are going to attack a Beau Geste type desert fort.
