What happens

Timbuctoo (also known as Timbucktoo) is a 1933 British comedy film, co-directed by Walter Summers and Arthur B. Woods for British International Pictures, and starring Henry Kendall and Margot Grahame. It was written by Summers. Although BIP had a reputation for churning out films quickly and cheaply, in this case they allocated enough of a budget to finance location filming in Africa. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
