Five Weeks In A Balloon.

The Jupiter, a manned balloon with a unicorn-shaped gondola, falls from the sky during its maiden flight. American publisher Cornelius Randolph comes to the rescue: he will back the venture if his star reporter and nephew, Donald O'Shay (Red Buttons) joins the crew. They encounter mishaps throughout the journey, including the loss of gas or ballast. Near Timbuktu, the balloon lands in an oasis and several of them attempt to gather food and supplies.
