Turkish Star Trek - 1973 - 6/10
AKA - Turist Ömer Uzay Yolunda

Alright, Trek-heads! Check this one.
The Enterprise orbits planet M-113 where Professor Crater and his wife are the only dwellers.
Aside from desperately needed salt, they want to be left alone.
Complications follow when one of the landing party is killed, body drained of salt.
Finding a patsy, Professor Crater teleports Ömer away from a forced marriage, light years distant.
The whole Trek stuff is completely faithful to “The Man Trap” episode.
As for Ömer, he is a fast-talking buffoon, out of place, clueless, yet surprisingly quick to grasp.
He excels in annoying Mr Spak to distraction.
There is a lot to enjoy in this insane spoof, which abounds in other references.
Uncredited, but listen for “Echoes” by Pink Floyd.
