Plot – A fake sheikh, actually the son of a mob boss, is giving away a staggering prize to the winner of a car race from Redondon Beack - the Californian Las Vegas - to Connecticut. All sort of romps, gags, cliches, grotesque incidents, loud stories, ridiculous abductions, incredible obstacles, appearances and disappearances of the fabulous "prize" - which is likely to fade out – happen during the competition, but Frank Sinatra – playing himself – will guarantee a happy ending to this messed up story.
All actors – Burt Reynolds, Frank Sinatra, Jamie Farr, Dom DeLuise, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Marilu Henner, Telly Savalas, Shirley MacLaine, Susan Anton, Catherine Bach, Foster Brooks
