What happens

Ömer the Tourist in Star Trek (Turkish: Turist Ömer Uzay Yolunda) is a 1973 Turkish cult comedy-drama science fiction film, produced and directed by Hulki Saner, featuring Sadri Alışık as Ömer the Tourist, a Turkish hobo who is beamed aboard the Starship Enterprise. It is the last film in the Ömer the Tourist franchise. It is considered to be within the Turksploitation genre, which consists of low-budget Turkish exploitation films that are either remakes of, or use unauthorized footage from, popular foreign films (particularly Hollywood movies) and television series, produced mainly in the 1970s and 1980s.
