Arline Judge stars as a performer stranded in Rhodesia. Simmons, the owner of the cafe where she sings, is allied with enemy agents. She meets paleontologist John "Dusty" King (whose valet is the incomparable Mantan Moreland), but Simmons prejudices him against her. She tries to escape into the jungle, and stumbles into King's camp. Naturally, he falls for her. They flee through the jungle until captured by natives. Their chief happens to have been educated at Oxford and is a lodge brother of Moreland, who had inadvertently proposed to the chief's sister.
The level of acting in this one is definitely not Oscar quality, but anything with Moreland in it will have funny moments.
Moreland, when King tries to hand him a skull: "Don't do that! You know I can't stand has-beens."
"Cannibals on the left of me, cannibals on the right of me, and me with no life insurance."
