Synopsis:

Two men engage in a semi-friendly rivalry at the beginning of the film. Hill's character occasionally ruins the other's hunting safaris. It turns out that Spencer's character is none too honest, either, since he gives his tourists rifles loaded with blanks so they can't hurt each other or the animals. The two have to team up to stop a villain, with plenty of comedy, eating, and violence.

The brothers Slim (Terence) and Tom (Bud) are at odds on how to make a living in South Africa. Tom runs a safari outfit while Slim tries to sabotage it due to his fondness for wildlife (although he doesn't know that the safari guns are loaded with blanks). Both join together, grudgingly of course, to rid their province of a sadistic tyrant called Ormond who is trying run everyone off their land to build a big safari-park. Tom and Slim try to get Ormond and his stupid gang out of the way ...

In Africa, many years ago, Slim (Hill) and Tom (Spencer) don't like it when a German tyrant (Bugner) starts selling all of the African wildlife to Canadian Zoo's! Slim and Tom must teach this guy a lesson by beating the hell out of him and his gang, left and right!
