Private Detective Hornee (Buddy Pantsari) & assistant Sultry Sommers
(Elizabeth Monica) are hired to take part in an expedition to find
Prentiss, a girl that went amiss in the jungle 15 years ago at age five
& is now the heiress to an immense fortune. Other participants in
the expedition are the Maxwells (Christine Murray, John Alderman), her
cousins who would profit largely if she was found dead or not found at
all, journalist Ten der Lee (Lisa Grant), & professor Livingston
(Fletcher Davies), who is in search of Nabooko, the legendary white
gorilla. Of course, the grown up Prentiss is now Algona (Deek Sills),
the white Goddess of the native & savage Meshpoka tribe, & they
soon capture our little search party. Algona then decides to have
them one by one, until Alderman finds out about the Meshpokas' gold
& wants to head off with it of course. He does not succeed though
& is sentenced to death. Then Nabooko, the white ape, decides tro
steal the gold, only to be stopped by our captured search party, &
it turns out Nabooko's not an ape at all but a Nazi in disguise who
wants to repossess his once lost treasure. To thank her prisoners for
saving the gold she sets them free ... all but Hornee, who might be
better off that way anyways for she keeps him as her lover.
Typical early seventies sex comedy, parodying the
jungle-adventure-movies of the 30's & 40's, in particular (as the
title might suggest) Trader Horn from '31, with all the usual
ingredients of such films - a white goddess who is actually the heiress
to a vast fortune, the search for a legendary white gorilla,
cannibalistic savages, the proceedings intercut with out-of-place stock
footage ever so often, a lost Nazi-treasure. The movie, however, manages
to stay pretty true to the genre, & while no masterpiece, it manages
to be pretty funny at times.
