A diamond thieve rushes into Louie's sweet shop and stashes his loot. Sach (Huntz Hall) is able to smell the diamonds and the thieve gets arrested. Slip (Leo Gorcey) gets a quest for lost diamonds and the group heads off to darkest Africa.
Initially, I was afraid of this group going to Africa. There are natives. At least, I don't think they're cannibals although they are head shrinkers. I would like a smart black character to play off the idiot group. A sexy white jungle girl is not my first pick. I guess they're doing the reverse Tarzan. They could play that up more with vine swinging and a Tarzan yell. In the end, they skirt around the most awkwardness of the dated premise. It's fine for a Bowery Boys film.
