Old Bones of the River plot

Professor Benjamin Tibbetts (Will Hay) is affiliated with the Institute of Education and Prosperity for the Conversion of Gentiles. Though not really suited to the task, Tibbetts leaves for Africa to teach the natives there. Upon arrival, he is still learning the native language by taking lessons on gramophone records. Soon, the poor professor falls victim to a cunning native prince who runs an illegal gin distillery.
