Plot: A wise-cracking, uninhibited American girl, Susie Perkins ('Joan Davis (I)' (qv)), is hired as a secretary/companion to Princess Shareen ('Peggie Castle' (qv)), a middle-east ruler of a small desert kingdom. Soon after their arrival, Susie learns that Shareen is in great danger, as a wicked sheik desires to get a hold of her oil-rich lands, and the Princess, also. After some wild adventures, aided by Majeed ('Paul Marion' (qv)), sweetheart of Shareen, Susie cleans up the situation, and is last seen joining the French Foreign Legion, which is 'for men only,' which suits Susie just fine. So is she.
