Stiers focuses on cast members while filming the parody of "Beau Geste." They are H. Billy Miller, Kenneth Cadman, Nord Whited, and Jim Folk, on the abandoned Paramount Studios' "Fort Zinderneuf" set near Yuma. (The exact location is an archeological dig and may not be disclosed.) Stiers' fraternity, Sigma Lambda, sponsored the only three showings of the film, at San Diego State College.
