Carry On Follow That Camel is an historical spectacular with a host of harem beauties, a bevy of blood thirsty Bedouins and a troupe of Legionnaires getting the hump!"

Bertram West, following an incident at a cricket match, where he is accused of ungentlemanly behaviour, runs away to join the foreign legion along with his batman, Simpson. The fort he is stationed at is beseiged by the hordes of Sheikh Abdul Abulbul, which wouldn't be so bad if the soldiers running it weren't just as dangerous!

Meanwhile back in England, Beau's girlfriend realises how unjustly he has been treated and sets out to find him and bring him home...

Sergeant Bilko with sand...it's a good film, but the very presence of Phil Silvers makes this film something other than a Carry On. Silvers is, nevertheless, very good (as are the entire cast, especially Jim Dale and Peter Butterworth), but it just doesn't seem right, somehow. This film seems much more at home out of the context of the Carry On series; a great comedy, but not a great Carry On.
