A group of people is stranded in the desert after a plane crash. Rather than relieving themselves in the open, they are forced to wait in line to use a primitive bathroom, and the leader (played by Gamil Ratib) gets to pee first. Various people are shown dancing in desperation as they wait. Finally the leader flushes the toilet with some water from a barrel, and the others try to rush in at once.
