Shemp Howard, Joe Besser, Frank Buck
Idiot bookstore clerks go on an African safari and much jungle nonsense follows. A fairly amusing A&C comedy, even if the gags are familiar and the running time of just under 80 minutes feels a little long. The supporting cast includes the Baer brothers as a couple of strong-arm enforcers, and Shemp Howard and Joe Besser, who at different times (but never together) were part of the Three Stooges.
