After finding out his innocence, Jane sets out to find him in the Middle East, where with help from local café owner Zig-Zig (Sims), Bo and Simpson join the FrenchForeignLegion. The raging Commandant Maximilian Burger (Williams), and his second-in-command Captain le Pice (Hawtrey) are on high alert following a threat from Sheikh Abdul Abulbul (Bresslaw), and so treat the two newcomers with great suspicion. They are introduced to Sergeant Ernie Nocker (Silvers) who takes an instant dislike to them until he realises that they know his tales of bravery against the Riffs were all lies, and he had been having it off with Zig-Zig the entire time.

* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: To be honest, Abdul Abulbul sounds like the worst imitation of a Middle Eastern name in British film history.

* CryingWolf: Sergeant Nocker. He pretends to take dangerous patrolling missions into the occupied Middle Eastern towns in order to have enough time to sleep with the vulnerable local women; he covers his tracks by creating [[ABloodyMess paint-stained bandages]] to stick all over his body and acts disoriented when he staggers through the base gates, and is then rewarded with a medal for his on-the-spot tale of fighting unarmed against enemy troops. After showing Bo and Simpson around the town with the other soldiers, a jealous Zig-Zig storms into Commandant Burger's office and tells him the truth; the return from being kidnapped by the sheikh's army and trying desperately to tell the commandant and the captain what's happened the night before lands Sergeant Nocker in the Legion's jail for "lying again", no questions asked.

** Sergeant Nocker, who pretends to patrol the desert in order to get into Middle Eastern women's pants.

* FunnyForeigner: In a way, everyone in this movie. They're all a group of foreigners who meet up in the Middle East to fight against each other, each having their own little quirks that makes them weird.

* RichSuitorPoorSuitor: Implied with Jane's suitors Humphrey and Bo. This would make sense with Humphrey's actions to get Bo kicked out of the cricket club because he probably saw himself better than Bo because of his wealth (note that he is at the dinner table with Lady Jane in the next scene). Also, after Bo is kicked out of the cricket club, he immediately flees the UK to the Middle East to join the army, implying that his entire life was probably focused on being in that cricket club and his romantic interest in Jane, and seems to act that he's ashamed to be seen again. Although, Bo has a personal butler that's always by his side, but their relationship is portrayed as two close friends that have a one-sided catering service instead of a merchant barking orders at a working-class-born man that should be grateful to be serving him.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Abdul is an Arabian sheikh that is in charge of his army and leads them into battle.

* SeriousBusiness: Being accused of cheating in a cricket match, being revoked of your membership in a cricket club and being removed from your love interest's life, is enough to make Bo be distraught enough to ''join the army'' in the Middle East.

** After sharing a passionate moment in his office with his childhood crush Lady Jane, Commandant Burger becomes frustrated and unsettled on the news of Jane being kidnapped by the sheikh, and immediately sends out the army when Sergeant Nocker admits that he spotted her during his Arabian capture.

* UnderwearFlag: Used by the Arabian army to mock the FrenchForeignLegion's morning march, when a pair of bloomers are attached to the flagpole; the Arabian soldiers and their leader don't even attempt to hide themselves, and conspicuously shriek with laughter on the nearby balcony as the Legion's staff threaten to punish their soldiers.

Bo and Simpson are soon treated like royalty by Sergeant Nocker, but when he takes the two out for the night, Abdul uses Corktip (Creator/AnitaHarris), a sexy belly dancer, to capture Bo and Sergeant Nocker, while also meeting Jane upon her arrival and taking her to be his thirteenth wife.

Bo and Simpson are soon treated like royalty by Sergeant Nocker, but when he takes the two out for the night, Abdul uses Corktip (Anita Harris), a sexy belly dancer, to capture Bo and Sergeant Nocker, while also meeting Jane upon her arrival and taking her to be his thirteenth wife.

* TheCameo: Series regular recurring actors Michael Nightingale, Creator/JulianHolloway[[note]]Actually, this was his first ''Carry On'' film[[/note]] and Peter Gilmore as a butler at the Ponsonby mansion, a train conductor, and Jane's suitor Humphrey.

The movie stars a middle-class cricket fanatic named Bertram Oliphant "Bo" West (Dale), who runs away from England to join the FrenchForeignLegion with his loyal servant Simpson (Butterworth) after being accused of cheating in a friendly cricket match by rival suitor Captain Humphrey Bagshaw (Peter Gilmore) to Bo's crush Lady Jane Ponsonby (Douglas).

''Follow That Camel'' is a ''Film/CarryOn'' movie that was released in 1967 as the fourteenth movie in the series. It starring SpecialGuest Creator/PhilSilvers, Creator/KennethWilliams, Creator/JimDale, Creator/CharlesHawtrey, Creator/JoanSims, Angela Douglas, Creator/PeterButterworth, and Creator/BernardBresslaw.

Bo and Simpson are soon treated like royalty by Sergeant Nocker, but when he takes the two out for the night, Abdul uses Corktip (Anita Harris), a sexy belly dancer to capture Bo and Sergeant Nocker, while also meeting Jane upon her arrival and taking her to be his thirteenth wife.

Simpson manages to locate Bo and Sergeant Nocker, allowing the latter to escape to tell Commandant Burger what has happened, but the Commandant (having heard from Zig-Zig of his lies) refuses to believe him until he hears that his former flame Jane is also in trouble and leads the Legion to rescue the three. When Bo and Simpson are found abandoned and nearly dead in the desert, it soon becomes a race against time for the Legion to retrieve Jane from Abdul's clutches and to prevent an attack on the Garrison as HilarityEnsues.

It is said to be a parody of the novel ''Literature/BeauGeste'' by Percival Christopher Wren, mostly of the 1939 movie adaptation, but it mocks other films around the plot of the FrenchForeignLegion, such as certain characters' names, like the character of Corktip (Anita Harris), who was a mock of the Cigarette character from the movie ''Literature/UnderTwoFlags''.

After finding out his innocence, Jane sets out to find him in the Middle East, but Bo and Simpson are too busy dealing with the likes of the smug womanising Sergeant Nocker (Silvers), the snobby Commandant Maximilian Burger (Williams), and his kooky sidekick Captain le Pice (Hawtrey) to consider going back to the British Isles. Either way, they probably wouldn't be allowed to leave after being mistaken for patrolling by Sergeant Nocker's mistress Zig-Zig (Sims) in her café and getting signed up immediately.

Jane soon bumps into several locals around the town and is then drugged and kidnapped in a bar by an Arabian royal Sheikh Abdul Abulbul (Bresslaw) and is prepped to be made his thirteenth wife. When Bo finds out, he and Simpson and the rest try to save her and end the Sheikh Arabian war against Abulbul's bloodthirsty Bedouins.

HilarityEnsues.

* {{Blackmail}}: Simpson realises that Sergeant Nocker lied to the Legion about his disappearance because Zig-Zig pointed out earlier that he was in the backroom of her hotel, so Bo uses this information to get Sergeant Nocker to treat him and Simpson like royalty.

* ClingyJealousGirl: After six days with Sergeant Nocker in the back room of her hotel, Zig-Zig glares at Sergeant Nocker in disgust when he becomes distracted by [[BellyDancer Corktip's belly dancing]]. She also tries to block his view with her body, but he cranes his neck around her.

* HollywoodMirage: The legionnaires are distracted by numerous mirages as they cross the desert, and finally decide to pass by what they believe is an illusionary luxury hotel -- to the dismay of the (very real) proprietors, who can't understand why they aren't doing more business.

* {{Blackmail}}: Inverted. Simpson realises that Sergeant Nocker lied to the Legion about his disappearance because Zig-Zig pointed out earlier that he was in the backroom of her hotel. Sergeant Nocker overhears them and treats them like royalty in case they tell the commandant and captain the truth, but it's obvious that Simpson and Bo probably wouldn't consider it in the first place.

* CryingWolf: Sergeant Nocker. He pretends to take dangerous patrolling missions into the occupied Middle Eastern towns in order to have enough time to sleep with the vulnerable local women; he covers his tracks by creating [[ABloodyMess paint-stained bandages]] to stick all over his body and acts disoriented when he staggers through the base gates, and is then rewarded with a medal for his on-the-spot tale of fighting unarmed against enemy troops. After showing Bo and Simpson around the town with the other soldiers (see the {{Blackmail}} entry above), a jealous Zig-Zig storms into Commandant Burger's office and tells him the truth; the return from being kidnapped by the sheikh's army and trying desperately to tell the commandant and the captain what's happened the night before lands Sergeant Nocker in the Legion's jail for "lying again", no questions asked.

* SandNecktie: Disgusted at Simpson and Bo's apparent unfazed reaction to his bellowing which failed to shock them into army life, Sergeant Nocker has the two men punished like this, until Simpson realises that Sergeant Nocker lied about his whereabouts to the commandant, making Sergeant Nocker have no choice but to release them. (See {{Blackmail}}.)

* BellyDancer: Bo, Simpson and Sergeant Nocker join together to enjoy a night at the Caf&eaucte; Zigazig, where Corktip, the local belly dancer, seduces Bo and Sergeant Nocker into being captured by Corktip's master, Sheikh Abdul Abulbul.

* BellyDancer: Bo, Simpson and Sergeant Nocker join together to enjoy a night at the Cafe Zig-Zig, where Corktip, the local belly dancer, seduces Bo and Sergeant Nocker into being captured by Corktip's master, Sheikh Abdul Abulbul.

* DistractedByTheSexy: Bo and Sergeant Nocker are kidnapped by Abulbul because they wander into a cafe and are enchanted by Corktip.

** Bo, especially when he's a ChivalrousPervert in [=CorkTip=]'s home, even though he intended to go there to flirt with her. In the same scene, he cannot see past her obvious double entendres and politely asks if it's okay to go into her room when she's in bed. [[TookALevelInBadass Then he beats up the hired thugs]].

* BellyDancer: Bo, Simpson and Sergeant Nocker join together to enjoy a night at the Cafe [=ZigZig=], where [=CorkTip=], the local belly dancer, seduces Bo and Sergeant Nocker into being captured by [=CorkTip=]'s master, the Sheik Abulbul.

* ABloodyMess: The audience first sees Sergeant Nocker asleep in [=ZigZig=]'s bed after having a one-night-stand with her. When he returns to the army base, he ties a bandage with a speck of jam on it to his forehead and pretends to limp through the front gates.

* {{Blackmail}}: Inverted. Simpson realises that Sergeant Nocker lied to the Legion about his disappearance because [=ZigZig=] pointed out earlier that he was in the backroom of her hotel. Sergeant Nocker overhears them and treats them like royalty in case they tell the commandant and captain the truth, but it's obvious that Simpson and Bo probably wouldn't consider it in the first place.

* ChekhovsGunman: Captain le Pice. Then again, it's rather common with Charles Hawtrey's characters.
* ChestOfMedals: Sergeant Nocker has at least twelve on his chest from Burger.

* ClingyJealousGirl: After six days with Sergeant Nocker in the back room of her hotel, [=ZigZig=] glares at Sergeabt Nocker in disgust when he becomes distracted by [[BellyDancer [=CorkTip=]'s belly dancing]]. She also tries to block his view with her body, but he cranes his neck around her.

'''CMNDT Burger:''' "A woman"? But it's not Saturday, is it?

* DistractedByTheSexy: Bo and Sergeant Nocker are kidnapped by Abulbul because they wander into a cafe and are enchanted by [=CorkTip=].

* EverybodyCallsHimBarkeep: Jane refers to Burger as Maximillian when she visits him.
* EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether: Burger and Jane were students in the same year-group, when Burger accidentally cut her finger.

* FreudianExcuse: The reason that Burger joined the Legion was because he was ashamed that he cut Jane's finger during a private fencing lesson.

** Burger, in shame of cutting Jane's finger, is a [[GermanicDepressives no-nonsense commandant]] with a rather short temper.

* GratuitousForeignLanguage: Burger (a German) and Captain le Pice (a Frenchman) sometimes speak in their native language.
** Burger calls Captain le Pice a "dummkopf" [[note]]German for "stupid head"[[/note]] at one point. He also uses "Gott im himmel!" and "Mein Gott!" when frustrated.
** Captain le Pice exclaims "Oui-oui!" [[note]]French for "yes yes!"[[/note]] in excitement when Burger creates a master plan.
--->'''CMNDT Burger:''' Well stop "wee wee"-ing and get on with it!
* HighClassGlass: CMDNT Burger wears a monocle, reflecting his implied wealth, considering that he went to the same university as the aristocratic Lady Jane.

* InvisibleHoles: After the battle in the film's climax, Burger doesn't notice until he takes a drink of water that he has been shot multiple times; the water pours out of the many bullet-holes in his body.

** After joining the legion, Bo and Burger pine for Jane's affections. [[spoiler:Even though Bo wins the contest, his newborn son is the spitting image of Burger (to be fair to Jane, she didn't really know what she was doing when Burger made love to her). Bo appears to be absolutely oblivious.]]

* NotDistractedByTheSexy: Simpson isn't really fascinated by [[BellyDancer [=CorkTip=]'s belly dancing]], unlike Sergeant Nocker and Bo. He chooses to compare her bra to the plates that Bo used to use for their dumplings recipes.

* ShoutOutToShakespeare: After discovering that the sheikh's army have moved on from their earlier spot, Burger grabs a nearby skull at the crime scene, thinking that it's Lady Jane, and moans "[[Theatre/{{Hamlet}} Alas, poor Jane]] -- [[AlasPoorYorick I knew her well]]." Sergeant Nocker then points out that the skull is masculine.

** [=CorkTip=] spits on the sand in disgust at Sergeant Nocker and Bo after they've woken up from their shanghai, which makes Bo scald her for doing so, pointing out that "in England, you'd be fined [[UsefulNotes/OldBritishMoney five pounds]]."
** After sharing a passionate moment in his office with his childhood crush Lady Jane, Burger becomes frustrated and unsettled on the news of Jane being kidnapped by the sheikh, and immediately sends out the army when Sergeant Nocker admits that he spotted her during his Arabian capture.

* SophisticatedAsHell: Burger.

* TakeThat: [=CorkTip=] mentions the Street of Many Fools. Sergeant Nocker assumes it's 10 Downing Street.

** Bo's shyness around [=CorkTip=] wanting him to visit her while she laid in bed, eventually giving in and going to see her, and then beating up her hired assassins. He reassures her that he knew what he was doing because he's learnt jujitsu.
** Captain le Pice being Commandant Burger's right-hand man, but obviously doubted as good enough to be a Captain, [[spoiler:saves Burger's and the remainder of the team's asses with the reinforcements (and the injured party) he was ordered to go and find. Even though Burger doesn't make it out alive...]]

** [=ZigZig=] disappears from the film after spilling the beans about Sergeant Nocker's deception.
** Captain le Pice is sent by Burger to get the reinforcements at the backup base while the rest of the army go back to the campsite [[spoiler:which he does -- saving the remainder of the team's asses by commanding the entire gang of reinforcements to save Burger and the rest. After that scene, the movie {{timeskip}}s to Bo and Jane being married and Sergeant Nocker eventually being promoted, and Burger is implied to have died on the battlefield, but there is no talk of Captain le Pice and his bravery and how he came to their rescue. So, could he have died in battle too?]]

'''[=ZigZig=]:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Well, what do you expect me to do about it?]]

->'''Sergeant Knocker:''' When's that?

After finding out his innocence, Jane sets out to find him in the Middle East, but Bo and Simpson are too busy dealing with the likes of the smug womanising Sergeant Nocker (Silvers), the snobby Commandant Maximilian Burger (Williams), and his kooky sidekick Captain le Pice (Hawtrey) to consider going back to the British Isles. Either way, they probably wouldn't be allowed to leave after being mistaken for patrolling by Nocker's wife Zig-Zig (Sims) in her restaurant and getting them signed up immediately.

* AmericaSavesTheDay: In a way, this trope is zig-zagged. Knocker's lies of bravery in ambushes whilst out on "patrol", and managing to fight them off unarmed, play him up as this; the audience would probably be convinced that [[spoiler:he saves everyone at the end of the movie from whatever peril there is to come -- he doesn't though. Captain le Pice does.]]

* BellyDancer: Bo, Simpson and Knocker join together to enjoy a night at the Cafe [=ZigZig=], where [=CorkTip=], the local belly dancer, seduces Bo and Knocker into being captured by [=CorkTip=]'s master, the Sheik Abulbul.

* ABloodyMess: The audience first sees Knocker asleep in [=ZigZig=]'s bed after having a one-night-stand with her. When he returns to the army base, he ties a bandage with a speck of jam on it to his forehead and pretends to limp through the front gates.

* {{Blackmail}}: Inverted. Simpson realises that Knocker lied to the Legion about his disappearance because [=ZigZig=] pointed out earlier that he was in the backroom of her hotel. Knocker overhears them and treats them like royalty in case they tell the commandant and captain the truth, but it's obvious that Simpson and Bo probably wouldn't consider it in the first place.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Sgt. Knocker frequently makes aside remarks to the camera.

* ChekhovsGunman: le Pice. Then again, it's rather common with Charles Hawtrey's characters.
* ChestOfMedals: Knocker has at least twelve on his chest from Burger.

* ClimacticBattleResurrection: [[spoiler:le Pice, after being sent to a reserve base to get more reinforcements.]]
* ClingyJealousGirl: After six days with Knocker in the back room of her hotel, [=ZigZig=] glares at Knocker in disgust when he becomes distracted by [[BellyDancer [=CorkTip=]'s belly dancing]]. She also tries to block his view with her body, but he cranes his neck around her.
* CryingWolf: Knocker. He pretends to take dangerous patrolling missions into the occupied Middle Eastern towns in order to have enough time to sleep with the vulnerable local women; he covers his tracks by creating [[ABloodyMess paint-stained bandages]] to stick all over his body and acts disoriented when he staggers through the base gates, and is then rewarded with a medal for his on-the-spot tale of fighting unarmed against enemy troops.

** Sergeant Knocker, who pretends to patrol the desert in order to get into Middle Eastern women's pants.

--->'''CPT le Pice:''' ''Herr'' Commander, there is a woman here to see you.\\

* DistractedByTheSexy: West and Knocker are kidnapped by Abulbul because they wander into a cafe and are enchanted by [=CorkTip=].

** Jane, West and Simpson mostly show the StiffUpperLip trope. Most cases, they don't seem fazed or terrified (Simpson sometimes does, though) whenever they're in danger or peril. Jane was definitely not fazed at the threatening behaviour of Abulbul and his talks of forced marriage, and West wasn't afraid to ''[[BrassBalls yell]] in [[BigBad Abulbul]]'s face'' when Knocker is threatened.

** le Pice is a {{cloudcuckoolander}}, who's slightly [[CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys wimpy.]]

* GreatEscape: West running away (with Simpson) to escape being accused of cheating in a cricket match.
* GratuitousForeignLanguage: Burger (a German) and le Pice (a Frenchman) sometimes speak in their native language.
** Burger calls le Pice a "dummkopf" [[note]]German for "stupid head"[[/note]] at one point. He also uses "Gott im himmel!" and "Mein Gott!" when frustrated.
** le Pice exclaims "Oui-oui!" [[note]]French for "yes yes!"[[/note]] in excitement when Burger creates a master plan.

-->'''SGT Knocker:''' What's "the pill"?\\

* KarmaHoudini: Even though Knocker is found out to be a liar, he doesn't get repercussions for conning the army. Surely, in real life, he would've probably been either dismissed, or deported back to the US, or probably ''executed''.
* LastNameBasis: Le Pice. We never know what his forename is.
* LeeroyJenkins: Knocker tries to invoke this trope to hide his womanizing from the Commandent.

** Bo and Humphrey to Jane. It's obvious that Jane doesn't care for anyone but West, which is probably why the suitor made it seem like he was tripped by West during their runs during cricket.
** After joining the legion, West and Burger pine for Jane's affections. [[spoiler:Even though West wins the contest, his newborn son is the spitting image of Burger (to be fair to Jane, she didn't really know what she was doing when Burger made love to her). West appears to be absolutely oblivious.]]
* MistakenForBadass: Knocker himself invokes this trope. He uses his power to set out into the desert to get into the pants of several native women, getting more medals in the process. Naturally, when trouble's on the way, he doesn't seem to be able to handle it (it's not shown on screen, however, but it's heavily implied). The biggest example is when he and Bo are kidnapped by Abulbul, who threatens them with execution, and Bo tells the sheikh off for being rude -- all while Knocker cringes in fear and hangs his head like a sorrowful child.

* NotDistractedByTheSexy: Simpson isn't really fascinated by [[BellyDancer [=CorkTip=]'s belly dancing]], unlike Knocker and Bo. He chooses to compare her bra to the plates that Bo used to use for their dumplings recipes.

* PressGanged: Although not being taken on a pirate ship, Knocker and Bo are knocked out by [=CorkTip=] and her hired thugs and held hostage.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: In the Legion, you have the naive West and Simpson, the short-tempered German Burger, the absent-minded Frenchman le Pice and the smug American Knocker.
* RankUp: Sgt. Knocker is made a commandant by the epilogue.

* RichSuitorPoorSuitor: Implied with Jane's suitors Humphrey and Bo. This would make sense with Humphrey's actions to get Bo kicked out of the cricket club because he probably saw himself better than West because of his wealth (note that he is at the dinner table with Lady Jane in the next scene). Also, after Bo is kicked out of the cricket club, he immediately flees the UK to the Middle East to join the army, implying that his entire life was probably focused on being in that cricket club and his romantic interest in Jane, and seems to act that he's ashamed to be seen again. Although, Bo has a personal butler that's always by his side, but their relationship is portrayed as two close friends that have a one-sided catering service instead of a merchant barking orders at a working-class-born man that should be grateful to be serving him.

* SandNecktie: Disgusted at Simpson and Bo's apparent unfazed reaction to his bellowing which failed to shock them into army life, Knocker has the two men punished like this, until Simpson realises that Knocker lied about his whereabouts to the commandant, making Knocker have no choice but to release them. (See {{Blackmail}}.)

** After sharing a passionate moment in his office with his childhood crush Lady Jane, Burger becomes frustrated and unsettled on the news of Jane being kidnapped by the sheikh, and immediately sends out the army when Knocker admits that he spotted her during his Arabian capture.

* SmugSuper: Knocker. When he notices Simpson and Bo being very slack with their morning rise, as well as noticing them getting washed in a pig trough, he becomes aggressive and has them buried in the sand. Them being British and him being American might play into it as well.

* TakeThat: [=CorkTip=] mentions the Street of Many Fools. Sgt. Knocker assumes it's 10 Downing Street.
* TapOnTheHead: Sgt. Knocker and Bo are both captured this way. Later, they inadvertently hit Simpson on the head when he's disguised as an Arab.
* ThoseTwoGuys:
** CMNDT Burger and CPT le Pice.
** Simpson and Bo West.
** Knocker and a Spanish soldier.

** [=ZigZig=] disappears from the film after spilling the beans about Sgt. Knocker's deception.
** CPT le Pice is sent by Burger to get the reinforcements at the backup base while the rest of the army go back to the campsite [[spoiler:which he does -- saving the remainder of the team's asses by commanding the entire gang of reinforcements to save Burger and the rest.

So, could he have died in battle too?]]

''Follow That Camel!'' is a ''Film/CarryOn'' movie that was released in 1967 as the fourteenth movie in the series. It starring SpecialGuest Creator/PhilSilvers, Creator/KennethWilliams, Creator/JimDale, Creator/CharlesHawtrey, Creator/JoanSims, Angela Douglas, Creator/PeterButterworth, Creator/BernardBresslaw, and Anita Harris.

It is said to be a parody of the novel ''Literature/BeauGeste'' by Percival Christopher Wren, mostly of the 1939 movie adaptation, but it mocks other films around the plot of the FrenchForeignLegion, such as certain characters' names, like the character of Corktip (Harris), who was a mock of the Cigarette character from the movie ''Literature/UnderTwoFlags''.

This was the second ''Film/CarryOn'' film that didn't have the "Carry On" phrase proceeding the verb/phrase, but is sometimes stuck on when listed as a feature in the TV Guide. It wasn't meant to be a member of the franchise to begin with anyway, despite the same crew and the UniversalAdaptorCast, but was reluctantly stuck on there to boost the box office. (Interestingly, in some countries the movie was released as ''Carry On in the Legion''.)
