Pilot Richard Kiley crash lands his small plane in the Sahara Desert. He is approached by a little kid dressed as a prince who claims to be an alien. He tells Kiley stories about his travels through the universe. Bob Fosse plays a dancing snake (naturally) and Gene Wilder is The Fox. Everyone involved looks very uncomfortable, except Fosse who looks quite comfortable. There is no question as to where Michael Jackson got his dance moves after viewing Fosse in action. Otherwise, this is incredibly silly and borderline incomprehensible, even by 1970s standards.
