Plot
The king of Egypt wakes up, dresses himself in a royal towel and goes for a stroll, but a camel eats his towel. The naked king then returns to the palace but is stopped at the entrance by his two palace guards who don't recognize him, and he finally goes away. Meanwhile, the camel has fallen in love with the king. The naked king is mocked by two women and a group of children. The king finally makes his way to a shop. He does not have enough money to buy underwear, but does buy a cigarette and a match, and meets with the camel again. After a brief fight, the camel rescues the king from the children. Meanwhile, the two women have a threesome with one of the guards in a giant flowerbed.
Darkness falls. The camel carries the unconscious king to safety, and they make peace. After some cactus-induced hallucinations in 3D, the king finds his crown. The characters all sleep, and dream about the events of the day. The next morning, the king retrieves the contents of the camel's intestines, including his royal towel. He goes back to the palace, taking a flower from the guard standing duty. Shortly thereafter, he sees the guard get fellatio from the lovestruck camel, and finds it funny. Meanwhile, the two women have tried to have a second threesome with the same guard as before, but this time they are all attacked and killed in the flowerbed by giant bees.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“The plot was most interesting. It belonged to no particular age, people, or country, and was perhaps the more delightful on that account, as nobody’s previous information could afford the remotest glimmering of what would ever come of it.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“James’s great gift, of course, was his ability to tell a plot in shimmering detail with such delicacy of treatment and such fine aloofness—that is, reluctance to engage in any direct grappling with what, in the play or story, had actually “taken place”Mthat his listeners often did not, in the end, know what had, to put it in another way, “gone on.””
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
“After I discovered the real life of mothers bore little resemblance to the plot outlined in most of the books and articles I’d read, I started relying on the expert advice of other mothers—especially those with sons a few years older than mine. This great body of knowledge is essentially an oral history, because anyone engaged in motherhood on a daily basis has no time to write an advice book about it.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
