Call Me Bwana

Bob Hope plays Matt Merriwether, a New York writer who has passed off his uncle's memoirs of explorations in Africa as his own. He is recruited by the United States Government and NASA to locate a missing secret space probe before it can be located by hostile forces. His mission is complicated by the presence of Anita Ekberg as Luba, a foreign agent sent to acquire the capsule for herself, and the tribe that believes the capsule to be sacred and won't give it up.
