The Sad Sack

Private Meredith C. Bixby (Jerry Lewis) is a bumbling hero with a photographic memory. He winds up in Morocco as a private in the French Foreign Legion. He is kidnapped by a band of Arabian plotters and, guarded by the knife-happy Abdul, is ordered to assemble a stolen American cannon. He still hasn't adjusted after 18 months. Among other things, he's lost a tank. Based on the comic strip character by George Baker.
