Bing Crosby & Bob Hope work as carnival shouter/promoter & stuntman respectively, when one of their tricks - The human cannonball - burns down a whole carnival. That takes them on an escape through all of Africa where they try more & more crazy tricks to earn a living, but in the end, they are caught by the police nevertheless & only kept out of prison by a kind American, who them sells them a lost diamond mine - problem with the lost mine is ... it is lost, meaning Hope & Crosby have spent all their money on pretty much nothing. Things don't get any better when Hope sells the mine again to some criminal bigshot who has the necessary muscle to force them to take him to the mine. Our 2 heroes escape - if only just - on a riverboat to some place deep ion the jungle. There they are promptly tricked out of some money by Una Merkel when she begs them to help her by buying her friend Dorothy Lamour from some white slaver (who is of course in league with Lamour & Merkel). The 2 ladies soon realize the have struck gold with our 2 heroes & manage to have them pay for their safari to Lamour's fianc� - of course under a false pretense though. Both Hope & Crosby of course soon fall madly in love with Lamour, but after a few jungle-shenanigans (you know the kind) they find out about the girls' crooked plans & send them off - unfortunately, the whole safari with them, leaving them rather losat in thew jungle. Of course, the next native village isn't far, only this one is quite scary, being only inhabited by skeletons. But our boys come up with a plan of drumming for help, only to misspell their message, soon being attacked by some more natives. These natives can't decide wether Hope & Crosby are their gods or their food, so finally Hope has to wrestle a gorilla to prove that he's a god ... but loses, & our heroes almost end up as cannibal fodder, until they start entertaining the crowds & can escape on merits of their entertainment value. & in the end they even meet Dorothy Lamour - who ran away from her fianc� because she's in love with Bing Crosby - & Una Merkel again.

Neat jungle comedy that works not so much because of the gags but because of its likeable leading duo, that once more shows great chemistry - Dorothy Lamour, who works great with them as well, is here strictly reduced to a supporting role. Second of Hope's, Crosby's & Lamour's Road-movies, & while certainly not bad (none of the Road-movies really is), it's not one of the better entries in the series though.
