They soon meet the prince's sister, Lalah (Dorothy Lamour), who rules a beautiful island. When their dive uncovers a jewel-filled chest, Ken tries to steal both the treasure and Lalah's throne, and the trio is forced into hiding.

Music by: Joseph J. Lilleyvie has lush trappings, many guest stars and good laughs. Hope and Crosby play a pair of Vaudeville performers in competition for Dorothy Lamour, pursuing her to the South Seas island of Bali, where they must content with all sorts of jungle dangers, from cannibalistic natives to various Hollywood stars who appear in hilarious cameos. The Humphrey Bogart scene is a classic. Excellent entry in series.
