Bob Wade squats in front for a group portrait as Bill Tascher, an unidentified man, Nord Whited, Bill Indseth, and Vernon Rivers stand behind him. They are on the abandoned Paramount Studios' Fort Zinderneuf set near Yuma (exact location undisclosed because an archeological dig). There they filmed a parody of "Beau Geste." Wade and Tascher's fraternity, Sigma Lambda, sponsored the film's only three showings, at San Diego State College in 1940.
