    A most excellent fantasy
    Miss Kitty from Gunsmoke as the savage leader of a band of scantily clad, horse back riding amazon warriors.

    One very mean princess.

    A trick horse.

    Arab barbers.

    Harem girls.

    Camels, donkeys and lots of horses.

    Desert sands, rugged mountains, oasis.

    Colorful wardrobes of many brilliant colors.

    All of this set to the wonderful and haunting lyrics of Nat King Cole.
