This time he's the human cannonball and a miscalculation
on by his buddy results in the entire circus burning down.
Pursued by the police and their creditors they escape to
Africa. There Chuck invests their remaining cash in a phoney
diamond mine.
Broke, Hubert gets their money back by selling the useless
mine to a pair of villains.
In the black again they run into a couple of con girls, Donna
(Dorothy Lamour) and Julia (Una Merkel) who talk them into
funding a safari.
The boys think they're searching for a lost parent; but in
reality it's another scam. They're plunged into the cannibals'
pot; meet snakes, ferocious cats and amorous gorillas. Can
they survive and get back to civilisation?
In Road To Zanzibar Bing Crosby and Bob Hope refine their
double act into a polished series of jokes, song and dance,
and charm.
Everyone else in the cast enhances this entertaining movie.
The songs by Johnny Burke and James Van Heusen support this
aim; but it's not their best work.
Conclusion: Movie 70% Extras - 70%
