Story
The British Garrison at the Burami Oasis is under constant siege from Arab bandits led by the notorious Sheikh Rattle and Roll. A British gunboat, HMS Thespus, under the command of Admiral Ned Seagoon is dispatched to the oasis to restore peace to the area. One problem exists, however: how to get a gunboat into an oasis only ten feet long. Further to that the Arabs have stolen the water whilst disguised as sailors. At gunpoint the Arabs refuse to give the water back, and when threated they drink it only to find out that it's actually Bloodnok's gin!
Music
- The BBC ORchestra conducted by Wally Stott.
- Max Geldray plays Sometimes I'm Happy (Vincent Youmans (music), Irving Caesar (lyrics)).
- The Ray Ellington Quartet plays Beep Beep (Carl Cicchetti / Donald Claps also known as Chic Hetti and Donny Conn).
Buraimi Oasis
