Plot Summary

Chuck and his pal Fearless flee an African carnival after their sideshow causes a fire. Following several similar escapades, they've finally saved enough to return to the USA, when Chuck spends it all on a lost diamond mine. But that's only the beginning; before long, a pair of attractive con women have tricked them into financing a comic safari, featuring numerous burlesque jungle adventures. Written by Rod Crawford
