Boy Scouts + forgetful pilot + jungle chaos = 1934's most unhinged vacation.
Two Boy Scouts win an around-the-world trip with a crack aviator, and find themselves crash-landed in the South American jungles after the ace forgets to refuel in Ecuador.
Practical Effects
Glorious miniature planes and jungle sets that wobble charmingly.
Stunts
Pre-code derring-do with actual planes and questionable safety standards.
Costume
Iron Eyes Cody's Temple Guard look—problematic but visually striking.
Director
Vin Moore
