Suspense filled drama in the African jungle
Excitement and adventure on the trail of ex-Nazi ivory smuggler. Equitorial [sic] Africa still a wild and untamed territory in the fifties provides John Baxter (Giuliano Gemma) with a challenge to make his fortune before returning home to Detroit and a Service Station of his dreams. With his close companion Biba, a more than intelligent Chimp, he buys and sells almost anything to the natives from his truck "Africa Express". Robert Preston (Jack Palance) is also a trader, but he deals in Wild Life and the illicit Ivory Trade. Why is there an unsuccessful attempt to capture a very attractive, self-assured blond Madeline (Ursula Andress) by hi-jacking a train? She escapes in a Nun's Habit and is picked up by John Baxter who finds shelter for her in a mission as Sister Maddy. Gradually Baxter realises that Maddy is a very tough operator on the trail of Preston, an ex-Nazi, wanted for War Crimes.
