This is such a haphazard presentation that most of the time, we don't have a clue as to what is going on. There is an old guy who runs away and hides in a little cave. Large numbers of garishly dressed "citizens" dance around in a serpentine dance. It takes about half the movie before Rip falls asleep. He is already old before he goes to sleep and he is really old when he returns. This could have been greatly entertaining but it lays a pretty big egg.
