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:
“If you need a certain vitality you can only supply it yourself, or there comes a point, anyway, when no one’s actions but your own seem dramatically convincing and justifiable in the plot that the number of your days concocts.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“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)
“Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
