Plots(1)
Abbott and Costello try to pass themselves off as some of the world's leading African safari hunters, when in reality they'd be lucky to find Africa on a globe. Their tales of bravado are overheard by diamond thieves who take them as their guides on a secret expedition into the heart of Africa. Their only hope is that Africa is no match for their comedic timing. Expertly restored and in color for the first time, this wonderful family romp of a movie goes through jungles filled with lions, monkeys and even a giant ape! (official distributor synopsis)
