Coach Sam Archer (John Amos) and assistant Milo Jackson (Tim Conway) can't win anything no matter the sport. They're on an African safari when they encounter Tarzan-type Nanu (Jan-Michael Vincent). According to tribal law, the one who saves another must follow him. Sam sees an opportunity to trick Nanu into coming to America to play sports for him. Part of package is that he brings along his tiger friend Harry. Sam recruits Jane to be Nanu's tutor.
This is so stupid that it's funny. Tim Conway is hamming it up before his stardom on The Carol Burnett Show. He is stealing scenes left and right. In an ill-advised turn, he gets shrink for awhile. The physical comedy potential is not enough to offset the truly ridiculous. It's one stupidity too far. Jan-Michael Vincent is humor-deficient but he's fine as a clueless meathead. Amos is fine and plays well with Conway. This is a stupid Disney live-action comedy from the 70's and it has a few laughs for the simple kid in everyone. I do wonder about having a tiger on set. It seems exceedingly dangerous.
