Africa Screams (1949)

An American comedy adventure directed by Charles Barton, starring Bud Abbott and Lou Costello.
Abbott and Costello work at a book store where they threw away a book about Africa. Some people come in looking for the book and offering money for a map that was in it. Abbott and Costello coerce their way into the African safari.
The plot was full of sub-plots, as most comedic films are, and the characters seemed to be repeating their roles from previous work that I haven't seen. There were a few physical comedy acts that I found amusing, but otherwise, nothing special. It's just really good to watch something that isn't kung fu. I rate it poor.
