Comment/Synopsis

Bing Crosby and Bob Hope are a pair of out of work musicians who get a job in a circus, but accidently end up burning it down and so escape the country by stowing away on a boat to Rio. They get involved with Dorothy Lamour who is being hypnotised by Gale Sondergaard into an arranged marriage. Bob Hope and Bing Crosby are at their best when singing and dancing and Dorothy Lamour when acting. Their talent shows through despite the poor production quality and nonsense plot. This was the 5th in series of Road movies from Bing Crosby, Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour.
