The family of Morad is to inherit the vast fortune of their deceased uncle - but only if they find his son Tiger, who has gone lost in the jungle 25 years ago, bring him back to civilisation and marry him to Morad's daughter Hassanam - who's a bit on the ugly side. So Morad and his son Andil are off to the jungle where they soon stumble upon Tarzan (Ismail Yassin) and his fiancée, the gorilla Cheetah. Tarzan, it turns out, is actually Tiger.

Somehow they manage to persuade Tarzan and Cheetah to accompany them back to Egypt, where the two of them at first cause nothing but chaos ... and what's worse, Morad's lawyer refuses to accept that Tarzan is indeed a human and not the beast his behaviour would suggest. To correct that, several members of the family and even a language teacher try to teach the wild man manners, but without success, but then Safy, the neglected, Cinerella-like niece/ward of Morad, gives it a try, and Tarzan promptly falls in love with her. This is good news because this way he is at least quick to learn human behavious and even language, writing and simple maths, but also bad news because since he has fallen in love with Safy, it has become all the more difficult to marry him to Hassanam.

Now Morad and family try every trick in the book to get Tarzan together with Hassanam, even a few crooked ones, but that leads Tarzan only to the conclusion that the ways of the humans are evil, money is a bad thing, and that he was much happier in the jungle ... so after lots of chases and the like, he marries Safy and takes her back to the jungle where they live happily ever after surrounded by animals.

 

Average slapstick comedy with a moral ending tagged onto it that doesn't actually help the film's comic effect. Before that, the film never even comes close to comedic brilliance but is worth a few chuckles, and while Ismail Yassin's comedy is a bit too much on the childish side for my taste, he is supported by a bunch of great and quite funny character actors. On the other hand, quite a few slapstick chase scenes that are supposed to be the backbone of a film like this are very sloppily conceived.

Basically, not a must-see by a longshot, but if you have got nothing better to do you might as well watch it.
