Wild animal thrills! Jungle adventure! Stark realism (whatever that is)... all on an empty stage! Film producer Larry Livermore is desperately searching for an unknown to portray the lead in his next film, Archie of the Amazon. He's about to give up when he learns of a wild jungle man living deep within the Amazon rainforest. With his loyal assistant, Kimberly, and a jungle guide, Borneo Joe, Larry penetrates the bush where he discovers the wild man is not only real but friendly with a mountain gorilla named Ingagi! Although the people who live in the jungle, such as animal trainer Betty Beatty, ecologist Dorothy Greener and Princess Aquacola and her hostile tribe, have all seen the wild man, they've never gotten close to him. Is he dangerous or just shy? To confuse matters more, explorer Osa Byrd traipses through, searching for the illusive Amazon Ghost Moth with three teenagers who won the trip on a quiz show. (They expected dining room furniture.) The finale is riveting as Aquacola plans to steam the intruders in cooking pots. Will the jungle man be able to save them? Watch him fight off ferocious jaguars and coiling anaconda snakes! Not only is this a hilarious spoof, it's a snap to present, with one mad scene after another. So, watch Archie swing. Watch Archie play basketball with a furball. But most important, watch Archie make you laugh. (Also available as a musical.)
