Jungle Fever

Two retired British army colonels stumble across a bracelet in a stall in the old bazaar in Casablanca. The bracelet belongs to the missing heiress of the great Mumulgum Castle. The missing heiress is a niece of one of the colonels, so they decide upon a quest to find and rescue her.

They enlist the service of a jungle guide (an African Queen) and the not-so-brave Jungle Patrol to help them. They are followed by the heiress's evil half sister who intends to claim the inheritance herself! She is in cahoots with a witch doctor, who is the advisor to a long lost jungle tribe whose members are all women.

The production also features a dashing hero, plenty of corny one liners and humorous innuendos.

Written by Peter Allen and Wendy Farenden. Directed by Sharyn Donoghue and Kent Wagner.
