An all-girl orchestra is shipwrecked on what they think is a deserted island ... until they find Karzin, son of Tarzan, whom all the girls immediately fall for. Only the orchestra directrice is opposed to the girls' association with the jungle king's son and chases him off ... then though the firls are attacked by a tribe of natives, and the only one who can save them is Karzin - and thus the directrice allows him back into the girls' life, while he soon invites everone to his jungle manor ...

Of course though, Karzin isn't for real but an impostor who uses the king of the jungle-routine to get girls, and to make it convincing, he even pays the natives for their repeated attacks. Also, the island is anything but deserted but is only a quiet holiday resort. Eventually, the girls though stumble upon some tourists on the island, and ultimately they turn the tables on Karzin ...

 

It's never good to base a film on just one joke, even if the film is - like this one - only 45 minutes long., because the novelty wears off way too quickly. So on a story level, Karzin in Cuba is a big disappointment. At the same time though th efilm was never intended to be big drama(or big comedy for that matter) but an early nudie cutie, with girls running around in skimpy outfits, and sometimes even topless, and as such the film is enjoyably cheap and cheesy, and while certainly not a masterpiece of schlock cinema, it has a certain so-bad-it's-good-quality that makes Karzin in Cuba easy to like - provided of course you don't take the film seriously at all and don't see it through a feminist's eyes.
