action
Coach Archer is a sports coach at Merrivale College and is about to be fired due to unsuccessfulness. During a vacation trip to Africa, which he takes with his assistant Milo Jackson , he meets Nanu , a white man who grew up alone in the jungle. Over the years, Nanu has become a top athlete in all fields who can even outrun a cheetah . Archer manages to use a trick to bring Nanu from the jungle to his school as a student, but only in the company of his "spiritual teacher" Gazenga . When Nanu arrived in the USA, the teacher Jane was assigned as a "tutor". The two get closer, which prompts Jane's friend Leopold to try everything to get rid of Nanu.
criticism
The lexicon of international films wrote that the production was "a largely funny, pleasantly entertaining mixture of Tarzan parody, sports satire and television satire."
