Africa Screams

1949, Bud Abbot, Lou Costello, and Shemp Howard (from the three stooges).

This black and white (although colorized copies exist) sees Abbot and Costello on a treasure hunt. An early comedy classic, enjoyable to most viewers.

The movie starts out with Abbot trying to imitate a lion tamer, and is afraid of a kitten. Abbot and Costello are approached by a woman wanting map from a book and soon find themselves on an expedition to Africa. There Abbot has a close encounter with a croc while in a canoe which he outsmarts by using a egg beater as a form of propulsion. They soon learn that the woman is after diamonds, which sends Costello into dreams of riches. Abbot pulls a gorilla from a trap. Soon after they find some diamonds, set out as bait by cannibals who have a taste for Abbot.
