Synopsis: Two bus drivers hijack a bus by request of a playboy who must get to a competition cruise. There they fall into a lake, are rescued by a boat, and eventually get to an island inhabited by some natives and a jewel robber and his gang.
Appraisal: Unpolished and unpretentious but entertaining, this comedy works through a relentless succession of gags, some of them verbal and some visual. Some of the gags are funnier than others, but I found myself laughing a lot during the film, an event that hasn't happened for me in, well, longer than I can remember. The film has several musical numbers: the first two, by a band of singers and tap dancers, are excellent, and the other two, set on the island and in the 'exotic' style, are not so good but make for curious entertainment.
