Nord Whited stands while Bill Tascher hunkers down to aim their rifles on the abandoned Paramount Studios' Fort Zinderneuf set near Yuma. The exact location where these students filmed their parody of "Beau Geste" is an archeological dig and may not be disclosed. Tascher's fraternity, Sigma Lambda, sponsored the only three showings of the film, at San Diego State College in 1940.
