Summary: The setting for this story is Rahatlcoum, a Roman colony in North Africa, but the "colonists" watch television, have gay bars, trade unions, and traffic problems. A gay Jules César's expensive vacation causes the population to grumble and gripe, they would rather have mechanic Ben Hur Marcel take Jules' place as their exalted leader. Once she gets out of jail, Cleopatra declares that old Ben is actually her long-lost half-brother. (Allmovie)
