action

Mick Dundee, the crocodile hunter from the jungle of Australia, finds his way around the urban jungle of Manhattan very well. He passes the time with walks on the window ledge on the 23rd floor, where he persuades a man who is tired of life to commit suicide , fishing with dynamite, killing snakes at Macys or tickling drug dealers with a knife. However, it cannot be overlooked that he is bored. He misses the dangers of the real jungle. But very quickly he gets the opportunity to return to his country. His girlfriend Sue is involved in a drug affair. Her ex-husband Bob Tanner photographed drug lord Rico during a murder in Colombia. Tanner escapes and sends Sue a film in the mail, but is then tracked down and killed by the drug lords. Sue is kidnapped by Rico's men in New York. Mick and his friend Leroy organize Sue's escape from Rico's villa. Mick and Sue flee to Australia, where they hide in the bush. The drug dealers follow Mick and Sue into the Australian bush and take up the chase. Crocodiles, buffaloes, snakes and Aborigines are just waiting to actively support their friend who has returned home. Mick knows how to make one gangster after the other harmless. At the end of the film, Mick and his friends manage to catch all the criminals and finally bring Sue to safety.
