Tascher, in costume, holds a rifle on the abandoned Paramount Studios' Fort Zinderneuf set, where he and a group of other San Diego State College students and others filmed a parody of "Beau Geste." Scripted by H. Billy Miller and Bob Wade (later known as Wade Miller), the short film was shown three times at San Diego State College, sponsored by Sigma Lambda. (The exact location is an archeological dig and may not be disclosed.)
