(Encore)
In what might be Gene Autry's worst movie, he goes to South Africa in search of his missing brother. The antics of sidekick Smiley Burnette nearly take over the movie, here is a sampling: he swallows a harmonica and plays a song on his stomach, he dons a one-piece leopard suit and top hat to convince the natives he is a god, while in black face he escapes lions by climbing a tree and being rescued by a man in a gorilla suit on swinging vines. In fact, it is filled with horrible Hollywood stereotypes with natives in floppy afro wigs, occasionally breaking out in southern gospel songs.
