Will Hay takes his school teacher shtick to darkest Africa to educate naked little black boys! Not nearly as offensive as it could have been because it's the white man that's the idiots in this comedy. Hmmm.... isn't that racist to whites? Anyway, Hay and his regulars, plus a ton a black guys, make a humorous spoof on British colonialism and the Paul Robeson film Sanders of the River (1935). Hell, I enjoyed this spoof much better then the original Sanders!
