- The film's one Arab is a wealthy sheik brought in as a potential fixer for the stranded American family; the gag is that the potentate promptly wants to add the hero's daughter to his harem, and the scene ends with the outraged father throwing him out. The lecherous-sheikh caricature is played entirely for a single joke.
